A new housing development, Turnstile Square, was built around the centre strip of the pitch which was retained with the centre spot preserved and blessed by a priest as the place where some fans had their cremation ashes scattered.
Peter Wright's statue was placed next to the former centre spot in tribute to the many earlier players who had played at Layer Road.
