I had a good ol' wander round The Nest before they built all the new houses on there.

Amazing to get a sense of scale of the place, and what it must have been like to have perched on top of one of the rickety stands, or the steep embankment behind.

Incredible place. Would have of loved to have watched us play there back in the days.
