    its to the right of the pylon. Didnt have Paddy Powell marking out the pitch in them days so was a bit abstract. Mind you we always did wellplaying down the hill in the second half.

    What a brilliant update, I'd never even heard of some of the lost sports grounds like Charlton stadium and Woolwich stadium

    The old photo, is from Cox Mount, looking out over the Thames where the barrier now stand. The school to the right is what use to call Woolwich College.

    Loved the mention of Charlton Dog Track worked there as a teenager in the mid sixties to boost up my apprentice wages, at Harveys on the Woolwich Road.

    The Woolwich Road area was full of big employers those days, Harveys, Johnson & Phillips, Sykes Stones Foundries and Siemens. Happy days!

    British Ropes - Bridon Sports?
    Ah Bridon Sports I refereed them many times in their Spartan League days up at the Meridian.

    Another employer was Duresco paints thêir factory was where the Thames barrier is now. My grand father Dick Churchill worked there for over 50 years as a colour matcher in them days a job was for life..I believe that Stones Foundry made the propellers for the great ocean liners the queen Mary and Elizabeth.
