Description: | This aerial view of Twickenham Stadium clearly shows the farmland that once surrounded the Stadium. When suggestions were first made for a national rugby stadium to be built in Twickenham many in the Rugby Football Union felt it was too far from central London. However after successfully influencing the development of nearby Twickenham railway station, links to central London were significantly improved. Today, Twickenham has been swallowed up by the rapid expansion of the capital and is now considered part of Greater London. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | English Heritage (London) | Subjects: | Cityscape Sport | Temporal: | 2003 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
