Description: | This rugby match between England and France was played in front of a packed crowd at Twickenham. In the background of the photograph both the South and West Stands are visible. The crowds in the South Stand are exposed to the British weather. It was the last stand at Twickenham to have no roof. It took the Rugby Football Union until the 1980s to get plans approved for a modern stand with a roof. Previous planning applications had been objected to by local residents. It was only after the Union bought up all the houses in the shadow of the South Stand that plans for a new stand were approved. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Sport | Temporal: | 27 FEB 1926 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
