Arsenals Highbury stadium, aerial view
Highbury Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club from 1913-2006, aerial view. The stadium, officially called Arsenal Stadium, is located in Highbury, in the London Borough of Islington, UK. It is an all-seater stadium with a capacity of 38, 500. This was considered too small for a club of Arsenals stature, but the proximity of houses and roads meant the stadium could not be redeveloped. Arsenal FC built a new stadium, the Emirates Stadium, not far away at Ashburton Grove. This new stadium, with a capacity of 60, 000, will be their home from the start of the 2006 season

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the historic Highbury Stadium, once home to Arsenal Football Club from 1913-2006. Nestled in the heart of Highbury, a vibrant neighborhood in the London Borough of Islington, this iconic stadium holds a special place in football history. With its all-seater design and a capacity of 38,500 spectators, it may have been considered small for a club as prestigious as Arsenal. However, due to its close proximity to residential areas and roads, redevelopment was not feasible. In response to this challenge, Arsenal FC embarked on an ambitious project that resulted in the construction of their new home at Ashburton Grove - The Emirates Stadium. This state-of-the-art facility boasts a staggering capacity of 60,000 seats and has been their cherished abode since the start of the 2006 season. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Science Photo Library with awe-inspiring clarity and detail, we are reminded of the rich heritage embedded within these hallowed grounds. It is here that countless battles were fought between rival teams; where dreams were made or shattered; where roars of triumph echoed through North London's streets. This image serves as both a nostalgic reminder and testament to how land use can shape sporting legacies. A symbol of British footballing excellence intertwined with urban life - Highbury Stadium will forever hold its place among Britain's most beloved sporting landmarks.
