I am not entirely sure of that so old photos would need to verify that - and - of course - if the old concrete had signs of patching.

It will be really interesting when the bank is removed to see what lies beneath ! Anyone got a metal detector?
Have checked my old pictures and in 1960 the kop barriers were of the old tubular style and it it those that are the true heritage items for collectors
They must have been replaced when the ground was improved in the 1970s
