I'd forgotten how close those terraces were. IIRC they had tram lines between them and the back of the BBE?

1960/1 after the Cup Final which paid for the new roof; tram lines were in tapestry street behind the Blackburn End and were there until the new Blackburn End was built.

Sorry Kidder Street was the street name.

Apparently they had to clear the upper deck of the trams to stop people watching the game for free!
