Is that corner of the lower North as it meets the Trinity covered by the Trinity roof?

I think so, but not much protection in a bit of wind I wouldn’t have thought.

The first picture is Trinity side and then the second is North/Witton side.

Ads is just asking if the Trinity roof covers that bit of the lower North. I think he knows where they are.

 That end of Villa Park will look a lot different by the time we play Bologna.

Quite, he's spent half his life outside the law courts on England's finest pasture.

Some photos from Gurdeep Dhamu on FB.  Apologies to Gurdeep if he is on here but I couldn’t figure out to provide a link to his work!

If they're anything like every builder I've come across, they'd have loved doing all that.

But now they'll disappear for 6 weeks doing someone else's kitchen extension.

Out of interest, do we have any idea where the oldest part of Villa Park is now to be found? There must be a random wall from the 50s somewhere in there, surely?

Isn't there a horse from the 1880s buried under the turf?

There was a wall at back of the lower north that was either the old trinity or even older than that. It is still there i think.

The depths of witton lane might also have some too.
