[ 107 ] The ground endured slender damage during the second World War, when bombs were dropped on houses along the Shipton Street End. [ 107 ] Improvements were made curtly after the war ended, including the concrete of the banking at the Grosvenor Road End being completed. [ 110 ] With the club ‘s finances in a impregnable status, York purchased Bootham Crescent for £4,075 in September 1948.
