What happened to England's lost football grounds?

21-10-2014, 02:36 AM

West Ham United are due to move to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford from Upton Park in 2016 while Tottenham Hotspur, who have plans for a new stadium next to their current White Hart Lane ground, will have to find a temporary home venue for the 2017-18 season.

They are just the latest clubs to leave their long-established homes - a trend which began in the 1990s and which shows no signs of abating.

So what became of England's lost football grounds?

Following a huge response from readers, BBC News takes a second look at the clubs whose former stadiums are gone but certainly not forgotten.
