It suffered bomb damage in 1944 but was brought back into use. As a child, this is where we used to come for school sports days. The grandstand is a grade 2 protected structure but is currently cordened off and unused due to safety concerns. Plans are in place to renovate the stadium and bring it back into use.</p>
