This print captures a stunning view of the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, as seen from across the canal. The image showcases the architectural beauty and grandeur of this iconic sports center, which has undergone several name changes throughout its history. Originally awarded to Laing Midlands Division by Birmingham City Council in 1989, the £50 million Design and Construct contract paved the way for the construction of this magnificent arena. On October 4th, 1991, it was officially opened by renowned athlete Linford Christie. Boasting a capacity for approximately 12,000 spectators at that time, it became the largest indoor arena in the UK. Over time, this remarkable venue has witnessed various transformations in both name and purpose. Initially known as the National Indoor Arena from October 1991 to December 2014, it later adopted names such as The Barclaycard Arena (December 2014 to August 2017), Arena Birmingham (September 2017 to April 2020), and Utilita Arena Birmingham (April 2020 to present). The photograph not only showcases an impressive architectural feat but also highlights its picturesque surroundings with reflections on the tranquil waterscape of the adjacent canal. This image is a testament to both sporting excellence and urban beauty captured through A© Historic England Archive's lens.
