Just reminding myself of where we came from - great days too!

Nice arse on that lass in the middle.

Is that first photo the Kippax from the Platt Lane side? Or the Main Stand form the North Stand side?

I used to go in the Kippax near the North Stand so I never saw the ground from those angles.

Main stand from North stand

Agree about the ass though she looks a little too much like Gail Platt for my liking

In the Kippax where I used to stand, a couple of girls in leather jackets and very mini skirts used to stand near the back next to the gangway thought they were lovely, I was only 16, memories hey

It's the Kippax from the Platt Lane side in the1950s I think - I always went into the Kippax through the the middle turnstiles so not sure like you -here's a 1960 aerial shot which might assist and also evocative queue pics from a bit later

Does anybody recognise the narrator (& possibly author) of the soundtrack? Hope it's not that rag Longfella (Tony Walsh)
