The club shop and turnstiles faced the road before supporters approached the clubhouse with changing rooms (left) and the dominant main stand.

A record gate of 17,042 saw City lose 2-0 to Sheffield United in the FA Cup fourth round in the 1958-59 season.

The club had beaten Millwall and famously Liverpool on the way.

With the St George’s Lane ground handily placed less than a mile from the city centre, the football club often drew sizeable crowds for the non-league level it operated at.

The Lane housing development has taken the stadium’s place after the ground was sold with the football club juggling crippling debts and then demolished in 2014.

There followed a long spell in exile for Worcester City in Kidderminster and Bromsgrove before the club finally returned to the city to play at Claines Lane in 2020.

St George’s Lane had been the club’s headquarters for 108 years.

Now The Lane has become home to a series of houses and flats. Saturday afternoons there have never been the same nor Monday nights.
