Description: | Crowds packed into the stands at Twickenham to watch England play France in 1926. This photograph was taken from behind the crowd in the old West Stand of the Stadium. The West Stand was the last single-decker stand at Twickenham, later replaced with double and then triple-decker stands that could accommodate more people. Large pillars shown in the photograph held up the roof, but also obstructed some fans' views of the game. Most modern stadiums, including Twickenham how have cantilever roofs which provide unrestricted views of the pitch. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Cityscape Sport | Temporal: | 27 FEB 1926 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
