Reflections on The Valley to be published in due course
..
Charlton left The Valley in 1985. It was to be over 7 years before they returned. In the interim the stands remained, but the dereliction was huge.
..
The North Stand on my first visit – it was the structure that had been left behind in 1985. By the time of my second trip it had been fully replaced
..
The Jimmy Seed Stand where we were located on both trips. It is now the only remaining structure on the ground from the days before the move
..
The East Stand was built in 1994, on the site of what had been a huge open terrace – it was in place on my first visit
..
The Valley on my second visit – with the Jimmy Seed Stand at the bottom; the East Stand on the right; the North Stand at the top, and the huge West, (Main), Stand on the left
