Bedford Lemere and Company expertly captured this momentous occasion on behalf of A D Dawnay and Sons, constructional engineers. Their lens immortalized the dedication and craftsmanship involved in creating one of the most renowned sporting venues in history. The black-and-white composition exudes a sense of anticipation as workers diligently work together to bring their vision to life. Each detail meticulously planned, every beam carefully placed - it is a testament to human ingenuity and determination.
