Anybody know the game featured on the cover? By the size of the crowd, looks like an early JPT match.
Also the kit looks a lot to be desired (or not).
Nothing much changes at Home Park.
The actual match is a bit of a mystery but that's Jack Leslie playing the ball and there's an earth-banked Devonport End, so that puts it in the 1920s. The stand in the corner is the Spooner Stand. Nothing much changes at Home Park? More like everything has changed!
Any ideas what the large building is in the background. Wrong direction for Pounds House?
I have been supporting Argyle since the early 50's and and have many books but that is the first time that I have seen this photograph. I reckon the building concerned is close to where the Esso Garage in Outland Road is now situated. I remember when that site was a nursery.
On a map of Plymouth dated 1912 there is a large building known as Outland Mill near to the above location but in a 19933 map this building has gone and Segrave Road and various houses (which I presume are the ones still there now) have appeared. So I would put my money on this being Outland Mill.
I am looking forward to getting this book and hopefuuly seeing other photos which I have not previously seen. :thumbup:
