Found an old 1930 OS map of the site.  I didn't know that the site was known as Pilton Park.

The National Library of Scotland has a massive online archive.

Pilton used to be called Pulton in 1662.

I presume you’re joking, but just incase, the fm means farm, that’s Worthy Farm.

For anyone interested, the railway was part of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_and_Dorset_Joint_Railway

1930s. Those were the days. 

Milk was a shilling.

Evelyn Laye opened the festival.
