Description: | This plan was produced in the lead up to the second ever Rugby World Cup tournament. It shows proposals for a new Twickenham North Stand, mirroring the South Stand that already existed. However this particular design for the North Stand was never realised. Instead the Rugby Football Union decided to build a three tier stand which has now been extended around the entire Stadium. The plan also shows the allotments that were behind the North Stand - the last remaining evidence of the market garden that existed before the Stadium was built. The allotments finally disappeared in the late 1990's to make way for more space around the Stadium including car parks for match day spectators. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Cityscape Sport | Temporal: | 1988 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
