EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the historic and nostalgic scene of Gay Meadow, the former home of Shrewsbury Town Football Club in Shrewsbury, England. This iconic football ground, vacated in 2007, is famously known for its unique feature – a coracle, a traditional Welsh boat, used to retrieve lost footballs from the River Severn that borders the field. The aerial photograph, taken in March 1999 by Aerofilms, beautifully showcases the lush, green expanse of the meadow, with the winding River Severn meandering through it. The football pitch, marked by its distinct grid-like pattern, sits at the center, surrounded by the river on three sides and terraces on the fourth. The terraces, now worn and weathered, once echoed with the cheers and roars of dedicated football fans. The presence of the coracle, a small, round boat, adds an intriguing element to the scene. The boat, with its distinctive shape and rustic appearance, is a testament to the rich history and traditions of Shrewsbury Town Football Club. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, as well as a sense of awe at the unique solution the club came up with to deal with the challenges of a football ground bordering a river. Gay Meadow may no longer be the home of Shrewsbury Town Football Club, but it remains an important part of the town's history and identity. The image serves as a reminder of the past, and a tribute to the unique character and traditions of football in Shrewsbury. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of aerial images of recreational and leisure spaces, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of football and sport in the UK.
