Old 'A V' Floodlights at Villa Park
Aston Villa
| The
photo below clearly shows the old floodlights at Villa Park. They were
unusual in the respect that the actual lights were arranged so that they
looked like an 'A' and a 'V'. The photo which was taken from the Holte End
(this end gets its name from Sir Thomas Holte who built the nearby Aston
Hall) also shows part of the old Trinity Road Stand on the left and the
Witton Lane Stand opposite. Both these sides have since been re-developed. The Witton Lane Stand (which was to be renamed the Doug Ellis Stand) was built in time for the Club to host matched from the 1996 European Championships. The building of this stand saw the removal of the floodlights and were replaced with lights attached to the front of the roofs of each of the stands. |
