Description
Available in:

The club moved to North Road in 1929, having bought the site from Reg Girling for £400. A stand with bench seating and dressing rooms were built, and the local press funded the new press box, which was initially also used as dressing room for the referee and linesmen. The opening match was played on 7 September 1929 against Parkeston Railway, with Brightlingsea winning 4–1. The stand was dismantled in 1977. A lean-to cover was subsequently built next to the clubhouse and benches installed to meet ground grading requirements. Floodlights were erected in 1988 and inaugurated with a match against Colchester United. In 2014 a 107-seat stand was installed after being bought from eBay, with a 150-capacity covered terrace added in 2017.
