Maybe they have taken it off to clean it?

I believe that is 1951 as that is when the Kop was concreted (funded I suspect by that year's cup run). So it's 71 years ago

That looks to me as the construction of the kop as I don't remember the corner stand or the big chimney in the background and I have been going since 1969.

Looking at the photo and the way those chaps are dressed 1951 makes more sense than 1971

I think you are right. I'm not old enough to remember ,but there are no floodlights

So that was our home when we won the FA Cup! Was the money reinvested!! I hope the fans were NAPM in 1954 if it wasn't!!
