As it stood in 1939

What St Andrew's looked like in its prime.

A long, low grandstand runs along the Garrison Lane side: a brick-built base with a covered seated tier and a continuous roofline; beneath it are doorways and service rooms. The opposite sides are dominated by vast stepped terraces on an earthen Spion Kop embankment and the Railway End, some of which carry simple pitched or corrugated roofs. A wide rectangular grass pitch with a narrow four-yard grass border and a surrounding cinder running track fills the centre; floodlight masts and dense crowds line the terraces.
