John 'Oracle' Russell has pointed out that you couldn't see anything from the back of the open Holte (or Aston as it was then) End because the wall was too high. He also told me that "It used to be possible to stand on the zebra crossing at the junction of Warren Road and Hawthorn Road in Kingstanding and see the floodlights at The Hawthorns, Villa Park and St Andrews."
