Pitched Roof Sunset

 

a celebration of some of
Britain's unsung footballing gems:
Pitched Roof Grandstands

 


Cobdown, Aylesford Paper Mills FC (now APM Mears FC)

Dating from the 1930s, this is undoubtedly the best stand in Kent and the pride of the Kent County League. Luckily not normally a target of vandalism, the stand has been well-cared for over the years, being part of a private sports ground. Watching a game from the wooden bench seats is like going back in time. The simple lines, a combination of wood and corrugated iron and the grass green paint make it a stand to be photographed again and again. Long may it watch over matches.
