It was still known as Grenfells Field in the 60s and the stables were still in use up to the 70s, there was a coal depot on the same site run by McDonnell. The top part of the field where the gate is now was kept short enough by grazing horses to play football on, the surrounding nettles where head high (when I was 6 in '66). High St v Westfield was a regular game, no limit on numbers but you could only play for High St if you lived north of Scott St.
