EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1922, when Wembley Stadium was still under construction. The Empire Stadium, as it was known then, was being built specifically for the British Empire Exhibition. In this aerial photograph taken on September 5th of that year, we get a unique perspective of the stadium's progress. The image showcases the sheer scale and ambition behind this iconic London landmark. From above, we can see rows upon rows of steel beams forming its skeletal structure. Cranes tower over the site like giants overseeing their creation. Workers scurry about like ants, diligently piecing together what would become one of England's most revered sporting arenas. Looking closely at this snapshot frozen in time, one cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship involved in constructing such an architectural masterpiece almost a century ago. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As part of Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history from an extraordinary vantage point. It allows us to appreciate not only Wembley Stadium itself but also the incredible effort put forth by countless individuals who made its construction possible. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply fascinated by historical landmarks, this image is sure to ignite your imagination and transport you back to an era where dreams were being realized high up in London's skyline.
