The story behind three photos are you able to solve the questions?

Below are three photographs which on closer inspection have left me with further questions. Are you able to provide the answers?

On the aerial photograph of the ground there is a green area behind the Habbin Stand - is that the old training pitch?  If so, when was it no longer used?  Can anyone remember it or have any stories about the area? Did the players really train there? In what year was the police box fitted on top of the old changing rooms?
 
On the second photograph of Wes Maughan there are supporters sitting on a wall at the edge of the ground. If the photo was at the Abbey when was the wall removed? Does anyone remember sitting on the wall to watch matches?

The third photograph is of a room apparently used as the player bar. Can you remember it? Before that use, I have been told it was a food kiosk.  Can you remember there being one incorporated in the Main Stand?  Did you ever use it

The green area at the back of the habbin was only used for injured players to train.Big Ron wanted to have the area covered with Astro turf but the directors declined to put monies up for it to be done. Jeffrey Archer wanted to pay for it but once more directors didn't want him to be part of the club?
The wall in front of the Habbin. Renford Sargent, director sat on the wall when he was a toddler.His gran took him to the Abbey.
The room that was used as the players bar is under the main stand.
It was first used during John Becks time as manager. Now as phiso room.
