Walking around Plymouth indoor market today I spotted a framed black and white airial photograph of Home Park taken January 10th 1948. There was no main grandstand and all the ground was uncovered bar a part of the Devonport end which had a skewed cover, covering about half of that end.

Outside in the car park, which did not look tarmaced, there were, I guess, less than 100 hundred cars which looked mostly black in colour. There appeared to be some coaches there also and a couple of buses.

The sheen on the roads suggested that it had been (or was) raining.

The game was in progress and it was a 3rd round cup tie against Luton Town who I guess were in the top division at that time..

The score was Argyle 2 Luton Town 4.

The attendance was an eye watering 36,195.

What a great great picture and it was for sale at £35.

You managed to ascertain that from an arial photograph?

No Sham Green the information attached to the photo gave all that.

Must of taken ages to count the attendance

Any picture of the old Barn Park scoreboard working would be worth twice that.

Probably no-one there on the day that happened.

It's not been sold and I looked at it again thisw morning. The stallholder gave me a magnifying glass and some good detail emerged. Of interest there was a guy walking a dog and I reckon it might have been TinTin.

Do you mean Rin Tin Tin....good dog that
