The benches survived and were redone last summer.

It’s not the valley club, that was where the east stand turnstiles are at the back of the covered end. I think these were offices, remember the old stand was very unsophisticated and did not have corporate boxes and offices.1

That building existed in 1956. It's easy to forget how crude the old ground was

Oh, even better! I just went with the quick and dirty screengrab solution, so it's nice to see the full picture.

That's a shame even if it is Millwall.
But that's why we spent time and effort upfront getting permission and agreement from Eddie at Network Rail6 -
The old building in the picture was the gym. I think it also housed the Supporters Club 'office'.
Wooden, single storey and painted black … probably with creosote.
Luxury!

It’s lovely.
Many thanks to all involved in bringing it to fruition.
Well when it was a pub anyway
Straight out of work on a fri straight in there then to the Westminster arms then often on to the venue if not the kebab by the ferry
Lovely times0 -

It looks good as all of these murals do.0

lools like Millwall just ripped off this.
Ed. Hadn't seen all the other posts, seems they have popped up all over. Look good, although in the above it would have looked better had they coloured the rest of the bricks black as they remain quite dirty.0 -
