The East Terrace was originally another mound of earth with some railway sleepers, and remained so until the late 1970s, when the club began its rise through the divisions.
It became the first area of the ground to be redeveloped, and half the length of the pitch at the 'Town' end of the ground became home to the East Stand.
A small layer of steep terracing lay beneath a stand with a capacity of around 2,500.
It was also home to one of the most bizarre floodlights in the league, jutting out over the stand, completely out of character with the rest of the ground.
Due to the refusal of residents of William Street behind the stand it could not be extended further, and financial problems ensured that it was the only part of the ground to be redeveloped, although further developments were initially planned.
