Description: | The picture on this postcard shows a match between the England and France rugby teams in Richmond. Before England had their own stadium at Twickenham they used to play at either Richmond or Blackheath's grounds when in London. When the Rugby Football Union was looking for land to build their new national stadium they hoped to buy Richmond's ground. However it proved too expensive and they eventually bought cheaper land west of London at Twickenham. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Sport | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
