Victoria Ground, Stoke-on-Trent: A Nostalgic Aerial Glimpse into Stoke City's Historic Home (1992) This evocative aerial photograph captures the Victoria Ground, the former home of Stoke City Football Club, as it looked in 1992. Nestled in Stoke-on-Trent, this iconic recreational landmark bore witness to the Potters' remarkable football journey. At the time of this image, Stoke City, under the management of Lou Macari, had reached the league play-offs and clinched the Football League Trophy, marking a significant milestone in the team's history. In the following season (1992-93), they went on to become Champions of Division 2, securing their promotion to the second tier of English football. The urban landscape in this photograph showcases the Victoria Ground's distinctive features, including the stadium's grandstands, terraces, and the surrounding greenery. The aerial perspective offers a unique and unobstructed view of the football ground, providing a glimpse into its past glory. As we look back at this image, it serves as a poignant reminder of the rich footballing heritage that once thrived at Victoria Ground. Though Stoke City has since moved to the Britannia Stadium, this aerial photograph preserves the memory of their historic home and the exciting moments that unfolded within its grounds. This photograph is part of the extensive Aerofilms Collection, an invaluable archive of aerial imagery from Historic England, which documents the ever-evolving urban landscape of Britain. The Collection offers a unique perspective on the history of our towns and cities, allowing us to revisit and appreciate the past, while inspiring us to look forward to the future.
