It was never demolished, it now says 'Circus' instead of 'Zoo'

I can remember that too, it was almost a half circle stand if I remember rightly.

I believe it was going to be "The White City" of the south. Then the money ran out, so only the East Stand got built.

I had no idea the Theatre of Trees used to house a zoo. But why was it called "Olympic Stadium"?

Shouldn't that read 'The Shite City'?

I like this picture too. I SWEAR that's where the South Stand is now, and that the metal thing is still there with the disabled stand in front of it?

Withdean also hosted Davis Cup tennis in the 1930s.
