EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1922, capturing a pivotal moment in London's history. The image showcases the construction site of Wembley Stadium, soon to become an iconic symbol of British sporting excellence. The Empire Stadium was being built specifically for the prestigious British Empire Exhibition, which aimed to showcase the grandeur and influence of the British Empire on a global scale. From this aerial perspective, we can see workers diligently laying down the foundations that would eventually support thousands of cheering spectators. The photograph exudes a sense of ambition and determination as it immortalizes this significant milestone in architectural achievement. It is fascinating to observe how far technology has come since then, with cranes and scaffolding dominating the skyline instead of today's modern machinery. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, we are reminded not only of Wembley Stadium's rich heritage but also its enduring legacy as one of London's most beloved landmarks. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance; it captures both progress and tradition within its frame. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply appreciate glimpses into our past, this print transports you back nearly a century ago when dreams were being realized high above ground level at Wembley Stadium.
