Highbury Stadium

Highbury is one of the oldest stadiums in England. It was built specifically for Arsenal Football Club in 1913 on the grounds of a local college. Initially, the land for construction was leased, and fully purchased only in 1925. In the 30s, the stadium was reconstructed for the first time the main stand was completely rebuilt, and more than 200 thousand pounds were spent on the construction of the western, eastern and western stands. Later, a massive clock was erected over the southern tribune, soon becoming a symbol of Highbury. During the Second World War, the northern tribune was completely destroyed under bombardment, its reconstruction took more than 10 years.

Arsenal's final game at home took place in 2006. At the moment, the stadium is being dismantled, residential buildings will be built on the site of Highbury, but using the old arena designs in the design.
