Back in the early-70’s when I was a wee whippersnapper, my grandparents lived on Elmham Road in Cantley. There was so much less traffic on the roads that on match days you could hear the crowd, and also the prop engines of the planes taking gliders up. Could also see the floodlights from the upstairs back windows.


Funny what memories a single photo can evoke.

Great pic. Does it say ‘Charlesworth for Ford’ or similar on popside roof?

Some of the rear of the Rosso banking is still there behind ASDA.

The cowshed wasn't relocated from Bennetthorpe until 1927 I thought, and the airfield opened in 1934

That’s the main stand prior to the additional roof extension,
Sorry did you mean the first photo?

I think the point he's making is that this picture can't have been 1922, and I agree with him. In fact, I reckon it's well after then.

My Mum and Dad were running the Airport Club around that time.

I've got an ancient framed souvenir here on my bedroom wall of "England's First Flying Week Held at Doncaster." The date down at the bottom is October 16th to 23rd 1909. If that wasn't held at the Airport, where was it held?

If somebody could explain how to attach a photo to my post I'll happily do so.

Cheers

I thought it said "Doncaster Free Press".

The Cowshed arrived from Bennetthorpe July 1922 (according to this). It had only been built a year before that, so I guess the club were keen to retain it.

I always wondered how they did it. Was it partly dismantled or did they put the whole thing on wheels?

Having done as much manipulation of photo as my pc will allow without outrageous distortion it appears it does say Charlsworth for Ford.

My dad has just died and left me a house right behind the ground in the middle of the picture.

Yes, it looks like the mainstand had just been extended but as you say, before the canopy was added.
