This lies opposite Gayfield football ground.

Entranceway. The balcony and canopy above the door, the windows in and beside the door, plus the rounded corner to the left – and the flat roof – are deco features. The glazing has been mucked about with though:-

Showing rounded corner, balconies, strong horizontals and verticals:-

A few photos of Gayfield Park, home of Arbroath FC, from last Saturday.
This is the view of the ground from near Arbroath War Memorial.

The next was taken from an excellent vantage point to see that Mark Gilhaney’s shot last Saturday did cross the line after bouncing down from the bar. It also shows the north covered terracing.

These next two remind me so much of Boghead.


All that’s missing is the pie-stall set into the side of the stand (but that went when they replaced the old pavilion at Boghead.)
And, yes, Gayfield is only five metres from the high-tide line.

Some more photos of Gayfield are on my flickr.
