This is the entrance, where you pay to get in.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5bVTSQmI/AAAAAAAACSM/A4ZdMmBxMSU/s280/PICT0904_001.jpg)
The pay booth, from inside.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5fvx-RlI/AAAAAAAACSU/Ea8g1bHgIuE/s280/PICT0906_001.jpg)
The entrance is set in the corner, there is this area of cover behind the goal to our right.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5hhmzTDI/AAAAAAAACSY/3xC0f092rKs/s280/PICT0907_001.jpg)
The seats are along the side to our left, which is where we are heading.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5d9OhmVI/AAAAAAAACSQ/xJkLjMNAUPE/s280/PICT0905_001.jpg)
Before we reach them there is the clubhouse.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5j6I_LgI/AAAAAAAACSg/NXAf0t005e8/s280/PICT0908_001.jpg)
Entrance through here.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B7A8A4waI/AAAAAAAACVY/g3-PqPhmnjI/s280/PICT0951_001.jpg)
Set back behind this corner is the changing room building.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5nFH8k-I/AAAAAAAACSo/Q000MpWk51o/s280/PICT0911_001.jpg)
We are currently at the corner, looking over to the open dugouts side.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5pNjsjxI/AAAAAAAACSs/nasETO-pJFk/s280/PICT0912_001.jpg)
In front of the clubhouse is open hard standing.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5rFe3dcI/AAAAAAAACSw/_-xJLlvgF7c/s280/PICT0913_001.jpg)
Past the bar now, we look back at it.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5zYci8UI/AAAAAAAACTE/GciMoSvRRaU/s280/PICT0917_001.jpg)
Then we reach the seated area, which is strangely set back a little.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5tltsznI/AAAAAAAACS4/PMV_CTNDFNM/s280/PICT0914_001.jpg)
Before we see them, it's a glance back to the covered end.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5vGjIwSI/AAAAAAAACS8/uWZCbiiACGs/s280/PICT0915_001.jpg)
Now we are at the seats under the cover. They look quite recent, I could be completely wrong, but I wonder if they were purchased from the old Goldstone Ground, when it was demolished, as they look fairly new, & it's local, in the right colours?
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5xqJKCHI/AAAAAAAACTA/a9J2n1F-Jzo/s280/PICT0916_001.jpg)
The Club name is proudly emblazoned along the top.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B51ZhlL5I/AAAAAAAACTI/gfrnGFvEiyE/s280/PICT0918_001.jpg)
I'm not sure how recent the seats are, but the cover they are under is clearly older, & they have been bolted on yop of the concrete. The work looks too recent to Goldstone seats actually. Note the scrawl in the concrete at the front.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B53gTUO-I/AAAAAAAACTM/Jy2Mr0FozR0/s280/PICT0919_001.jpg)
1973? Was that when the cover was erected? Did this man do the work?
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B56t27kpI/AAAAAAAACTQ/YKep55UCOFQ/s280/PICT0920_001.jpg)
From here we look over to the dugouts, across the halfway line.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B586iDi3I/AAAAAAAACTU/qcqTRG6eAX0/s280/PICT0921_001.jpg)
Looking back there are seats piled in the corner. Still to be put in, or did they just buy too big a job lot?
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B5_B-lqmI/AAAAAAAACTY/pf2Lab18XQs/s280/PICT0922_001.jpg)
There are quite a few of them.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6A3Wi5ZI/AAAAAAAACTc/m6MhcXWjow4/s280/PICT0923_001.jpg)
A bit of a 'junk yard' in the other corner. Note also the sign on the wall.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6CuD6BaI/AAAAAAAACTg/b2Ns50jDDSg/s280/PICT0924_001.jpg)
The thought is nice, but it looks rather neglected...
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6Dw1cjOI/AAAAAAAACTk/f8UkXF8mk-o/s280/PICT0925_001.jpg)
Now in front of the stand, from the other end of it. This is a strange game here, in front of it. Were the dugouts here once? What are they trying to build?
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6KZzNrqI/AAAAAAAACT0/A5-kPBNAgu8/s280/PICT0928_001.jpg)
More unused seats up against a shed, past the stand.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6GJ0Re0I/AAAAAAAACTo/bGGbBPp_OTA/s280/PICT0926_001.jpg)
Hard standing continues to the corner, with car park to the left, behind it.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6IfaklYI/AAAAAAAACTs/RsGRD--UHxg/s280/PICT0927_001.jpg)
From here we loo kbehind the next goal, which is open.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6MybNRTI/AAAAAAAACT4/qD9sBAzDdpc/s280/PICT0929_001.jpg)
The next corner flag shot.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6Ox-edHI/AAAAAAAACT8/HexqrlFni28/s280/PICT0930_001.jpg)
A glance back, before we move on.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6Q6_H2CI/AAAAAAAACUA/Us0RBRw8piE/s280/PICT0931_001.jpg)
This is the view into the ground, from the way into the car park.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B7DhJflmI/AAAAAAAACVc/ppRbDo0H024/s280/PICT0952_001.jpg)
Open paved hard standing behind the goal.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6TJGH44I/AAAAAAAACUE/r_3x7RJ3w4U/s280/PICT0932_001.jpg)
This is strange, they must have very big moles around here!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6WCrOjbI/AAAAAAAACUI/wOvwjIg6iKI/s280/PICT0933_001.jpg)
From behind the net we look back to the stand.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6Y50lp3I/AAAAAAAACUM/H7tNmfw3LlY/s280/PICT0934_001.jpg)
Through the net we look down the pitch.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6brtJysI/AAAAAAAACUQ/C2gEPBgE_wM/s280/PICT0935_001.jpg)
Before we head on along the path to the corner.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6eOblbRI/AAAAAAAACUU/pypwwqGi39k/s280/PICT0936_001.jpg)
Next we are heading along this side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6grtL7UI/AAAAAAAACUY/aUyMOrEDl8M/s280/PICT0937_001.jpg)
A concrete path to the dugouts.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6jbuJDlI/AAAAAAAACUc/YaM-E5BIlv8/s280/PICT0938_001.jpg)
A bit unusual, in that you can't get past this point, no squeezing behind the dugouts.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6ljxu-2I/AAAAAAAACUg/sD17xIFRkkI/s280/PICT0939_001.jpg)
Here they are, from on the pitch.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6nuZQS-I/AAAAAAAACUk/H9ZVfcQvCKc/s280/PICT0940_001.jpg)
Directly over the halfway line, to the stand.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6qLJRqBI/AAAAAAAACUo/EuTrTNDQLv8/s280/PICT0941_001.jpg)
Then more open hard standing, past them, to the next corner.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6skc8N-I/AAAAAAAACUs/7xsiBPTVb24/s280/PICT0942_001.jpg)
From the side we see over to the cover behind the goal.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6vvWBt1I/AAAAAAAACU0/wSHOdXUiu8Y/s280/PICT0943_001.jpg)
Glancing back down the touchline.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B61O4shEI/AAAAAAAACU8/aijQm-ZK7VQ/s280/PICT0945_001.jpg)
And now behind the goal, where the path continues.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6yVpBVKI/AAAAAAAACU4/54s_smpiieQ/s280/PICT0944_001.jpg)
This is the wooden area of cover behind the net.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B62zy6WbI/AAAAAAAACVA/tkeOecnK35w/s280/PICT0946_001.jpg)
From under it we look to the dugouts.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B66y-hY-I/AAAAAAAACVM/_6YQApCoW5c/s280/PICT0948_001.jpg)
And, behind the net, to our left.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B64q4IQkI/AAAAAAAACVI/VNYoRJ2NDCc/s280/PICT0947_001.jpg)
A few steps along, we have a clearer shot of the stand.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6886RFuI/AAAAAAAACVQ/x8k7c3x_Uso/s280/PICT0949_001.jpg)
Then beyond we come to the corner where we came in, & end our brief circuit of Shoreham.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_8Mqu1wmEwRw/S4B6-xI-MCI/AAAAAAAACVU/1ORJc6kJjF8/s280/PICT0950_001.jpg)
