The 'Shed End' terrace was demolished in 1994 after publication of the Taylor Report following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. It was replaced with a seated stand, also known as the Shed End. This photograph was published on page 85 of 'Engineering Archie: Archibald Leitch - football ground designer' by Simon Inglis. This image was scanned from an undated 35mm transparency.
