EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph showcases the transformation of Highbury Square in London, once a renowned football stadium and now an elegant apartment complex. Captured in 2010 by talented photographer Damian Grady, this print encapsulates the rich history and evolution of one of England's lost football grounds. Formerly home to Arsenal Football Club, Highbury Stadium underwent a remarkable metamorphosis when the team relocated to Emirates Stadium. The area was meticulously redeveloped into a modern residential community while preserving significant elements of its sporting heritage. As depicted in this image, parts of the original stadium have been thoughtfully conserved, serving as a poignant reminder of its glorious past. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the lush green gardens that now occupy what was once hallowed ground for passionate football fans. These beautifully manicured spaces provide residents with serene retreats amidst bustling city life, offering a harmonious blend between nature and urban living. Damian Grady's expert aerial perspective allows us to appreciate both the scale and intricacy of this architectural feat. From above, we can admire how seamlessly old meets new; historic structures coexist alongside contemporary residences with grace and elegance. This print from Historic England serves as an invaluable historical document capturing not only physical transformations but also emotional connections people hold towards their beloved sports venues. It invites viewers to reflect on the ever-changing landscape of our cities while celebrating cherished memories that continue to resonate within these transformed spaces.
