EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph from 1935, Doncaster Airport and Belle Vue Stadium come together in a perfect blend of aviation and sporting history. The image, part of the extensive Aerofilms Collection held by Historic England, offers a unique perspective of Doncaster's vibrant past. At the heart of the photograph lies Doncaster Airport, with its neatly arranged runways and hangars, reflecting the growing importance of aviation in the interwar period. The airport, which opened in 1919, was a significant hub for both military and civilian flights, and this image captures the bustling activity that characterized the airfield during this era. Belle Vue Stadium, the home of Doncaster Rovers Football Club, is prominently featured in the bottom left corner of the photograph. The stadium, which opened in 1894, has a rich history in English football, having played host to numerous league and cup matches over the decades. The image shows the stadium's grandstands, terraces, and pitch, surrounded by the lush greenery of the surrounding area. The juxtaposition of the airport and the football stadium in this photograph is a testament to the diverse range of recreational and leisure activities that thrived in Doncaster during the 1930s. Aerial photography, such as this, provided a new and exciting way to capture the essence of a place and its people, offering a unique insight into the past that continues to captivate and inspire us today. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden in the skies above us, waiting to be discovered and celebrated.
