EDITORS COMMENTS

Great image capturing the progress of Wembley Stadium's construction in 1923, as seen in this aerial photograph (EPW008279) from the Aerofilms Collection held by Historic England. The Empire Stadium, as it was then known, was undergoing a massive transformation to be ready for the upcoming British Empire Exhibition. The photograph provides a unique bird's-eye view of the sprawling construction site, with the vast expanse of land cleared and leveled, revealing the intricate layout of the stadium's foundations. The grandstands, still in their infancy, can be seen taking shape, their skeletal frames reaching towards the sky. The distinctive arch, a symbol of Wembley and a landmark of London, is already starting to take form, its steel girders forming a striking contrast against the blue sky. The meticulous planning and execution of the construction project are evident in the photograph, with the various components of the stadium - grandstands, terraces, and the iconic arch - all coming together in perfect harmony. The attention to detail is astounding, with the neat rows of scaffolding and the precise alignment of the building structures. This photograph is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time and the vision of those who brought Wembley Stadium to life. It stands as a reminder of the past, a snapshot of history in the making, and a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of one of the most iconic sports and entertainment venues in the world.
