I wonder where this ended up when the new Grandstand in Goodison Road was demolished, the same as the two clocks ?

I`d say it went straight to a tip, back then they were n`t too bothered about preservation as the are now.

Incredible image.

Is it an AI generated image, or did someone actually climb up on the roof to take it?

Edit: Actually I can see it's just a very good artists impression now I've looked at pictures of the real thing. The navy 'stripes' aren't quite right.

I hope they make a fortune on memorabilia & save vital Individual items for a small museum at BMD hopefully?

It should've read 1909 (the year it was built) not 1929. It only looks like a 2 on some old photos because the zero had a line underneath it.

View from the Main Stand towards the Bullens Road – one of the earliest known photographs c.1895-97. The original 12 yard penalty line is clearly marked, which stretched the full width of the pitch. There was also a 6 yard double arced goalkeeper’s area at that time, which is not visible in this photograph -
