    This I found in a book, Football grounds from the air.  Picture taken 1970. After council had brought the land from Charlton. Shows the wall that stills runs behind Jimmy Seed Stand.

    That is a fantastic photo, I wish I could frame that and stick it on the wall.

    Been on this site before but have to agree with you it’s a brilliant photo.

    One of the only grounds in league where if you brought a seat on the day you would also have to pay to enter ground. Ie two payments,

    Great picture. Looks like there's a river running through the pitch. People queuing up to see the world angling championships.

    I know that it is all relative and we live in different times with higher expections, but could you imagine the face of someone who watched Charlton in that old ground as they stare at the modern Valley?

    You have to have stands to have light bulbs, when I started going in the 50s you had a small West stand and the Covered End, and as I stood at the other end where the South away end is now, it never bothered me

    I have that picture in a frame - it’s from ‘The Athletic’ magazine (or similar) and says ‘prospective home for the FA Cup Final’

    Charlton v Aston Villa, FA Cup, February 1938. Attendance 75,031 (highest attendance of any South London club) (including the ones who left Woolwich a few years earlier and went to the other side of the river).

    I love seeing these historic photos.
    If people could add a bit of info on them like dates or match details etc it would be appreciated.
