The pavilion, officially opened by Albert Smith MP on 7 December 1912, when Nelson beat Accrington Stanley 2-1 in a Lancashire Combination fixture, had a centre gable and a balcony overlooking the pitch.

On 2 August 1913, the Burnley Express newspaper reported that, according to Nelson's annual financial statement, the cost of building the pavilion was £649.19s.7d.

[3] Seedhill needed to be upgraded for the forthcoming season so, in 1923, a new wooden grandstand was built behind the existing stand on Carr Road.

[citation needed] Work started on the park end roof in September 1929 and was completed by November that year at a cost of £690 which was raised by the supporters' club.

[citation needed] There was a spectator bank on each corner of the town end of the ground - the one nearest Carr Road had a wooden building at the top which was called the 'Alpine Bar'.

In June 1970, halfway through the season, promoters Les Whaley, Mike Parker and Bill Bridgett moved the British League Division Two side across the Pennines to Bradford.

This facility is located on the opposite side of the cricket field in Surrey Road and has never been home to Nelson Football Club.

The land is currently used for the annual travelling fun fair which previously used the recreation ground on the opposite side of Carr Road until that was built on in the 1980s.
