Inside abandoned English stadium covered in barbed wire with eerie new stand that has never hosted a match

Rotherham's old ground has been left standing. It has overseen seven promotions, eight relegations and played host to their only ever League Cup final in 1961 when Rotherham beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the first leg before the Villans won 3-0 in the second leg.

The Millmoor ground is still plastered with the advertising of C.F. Booth. Covered in barbed wire and overgrown plants and surrounded by fences, you might be mistaken for thinking it would fit into a science fiction film set in a dystopian future.

The stadium has stood dormant since 2008. You can still see the half-built stand, but it will never be finished.

It was Rotherham United's home from 1925. It dates all the way back to the 1890s when it was used by the Rotherham Church Institute in the Sheffield Association League, before passing to Rotherham County and then Rotherham United.

Millmoor has become decrepit since being abandoned. It held some 8,300 fans but held a record attendance of 25,170 when local rivals Sheffield United came to visit back in 1952.

Having been left largely intact, much of what would have been seen on matchdays remains. It understandably holds plenty of sentimental value to the Millers faithful given it had been their ground since Rotherham's inception in 1925.

Rotherham had to leave the ground in 2008 over a rent row. Following a four-year spell renting Sheffield's Don Valley Athletics Stadium, the Millers moved to their current 12,000 capacity AESSEAL New York Stadium.
