Vale Park

Vale Park is a football stadium in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, home to Port Vale Football Club since 1950. The ground in its early years comprised the Lorne Street main stand and, from 1954, the newly built Railway Stand, with large banks of terracing at the Bycars and Hamil ends.

As it stood in 1954

What Vale Park looked like in its prime.

Vale Park in 1954 appears as a rectangular grass pitch framed by two principal stands facing one another and large terraced banks at each end. The newly completed Railway Stand provides a roofed, seated tier; the opposite Lorne Street main stand is a longer covered grandstand with the stadium entrance. The Bycars and Hamil ends are steep concrete terraces with metal railings. Overall materials are concrete and steel, an open skyline beyond the ends, and goal nets on the well-kept turf.
