EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Twickenham Stadium in all its glory during a match day in 1985. The image showcases the impressive East Stand, which was built in 1927 and may have been designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch. Standing tall and imposing, this grandstand is a testament to the rich history of rugby and sports culture that has thrived within these walls. Twickenham Stadium, located in Richmond upon Thames, Greater London, has been an integral part of British sporting heritage since its opening in 1909. Over the years, it has witnessed countless thrilling matches and unforgettable moments that have left fans on the edge of their seats. The photograph beautifully captures the vibrant green field surrounded by corrugated iron stands filled with enthusiastic supporters. Their passion for the game is palpable as they cheer on their favorite teams from every corner of this historic stadium. Sadly, both the East Stand featured here and its counterpart West Stand were demolished in 1992 to make way for modern developments. However, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Twickenham's storied past and enduring legacy within rugby history. With its rich architectural details juxtaposed against a backdrop of intense sporting action, this image encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important chapter in British sports culture.
