Turf Moor's four stands are named after prominent figures and areas associated with the club: the James Hargreaves Stand, Jimmy McIlroy Stand, Bob Lord Stand and Cricket Field Stand.
The stadium also installed permanent floodlights in 1957, allowing evening football to become part of its matchday offering.
Burnley subsequently hosted European competition matches, including fixtures during their 1960/61 European Cup campaign.
