Once a vibrant hub of sporting excitement, this image now tells a tale of abandonment and disrepair. The stands that once echoed with cheers are now mere remnants, crumbling under the weight of time. The photographer, Maurice Tibbles, skillfully captures the essence of this forgotten place. Through his lens, we witness the brokenness and squalid state that has befallen this once cherished football ground. Nature reclaims its territory as weeds creep through cracks in concrete and ivy engulfs decaying structures. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can't help but wonder about the countless memories made within these walls.
