It looks like all the rooms underneath the stand are more or less intact - I'm sorry this isn't a great photo but I couldn't get it all in the shot at close range.

Before HP was built Im sure I read somewhere that it was called 'Church Fields' which one would suppose mean just that, my Grandparents used to tell me that there were allotments 'plots' on the site.
