Who remembers the Park ‘Bothy’? It’s been gone for 2 decades. Here it is in its final months back in 2000.
A large, redundant store, prone to being broken into….often! It certainly didn’t look so great and for many….people were pleased to see it go.

George Hay Hi Paul, It was used as the changing rooms for the adjacent football pitch. Changed in there many a time in the 60s/ 70s.
