Selhurst Park, London: A Timeless Haven for Crystal Palace Football Club This aerial photograph, captured in 1996, offers a breathtaking bird's-eye view of Selhurst Park, the hallowed grounds of Crystal Palace Football Club. Nestled in the heart of London, this iconic stadium has been the home of the Eagles since 1924, making it one of the oldest continuously used football grounds in the English Premier League. At the time of this image, Crystal Palace was in Division One, the second tier of English football. The team, under the guidance of manager Dave Bassett, was working diligently to regain its place among the elite. The vibrant green expanse of the pitch, surrounded by the red-brick walls of the stadium, stands out in stark contrast to the urban landscape that surrounds it. The image captures the essence of a recreational and leisure space, where thousands of fans gather to cheer on their beloved team. The terraces, which have since been replaced with seats, are visible in the foreground, while the main stand and the Arthur Wait Stand can be seen towards the right. The Nelson Mandela Stand, named in honor of the South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, is located at the opposite end of the pitch. Selhurst Park is more than just a football stadium; it is a symbol of community and tradition. The aerial perspective provides a unique vantage point, allowing us to appreciate the scale and beauty of this urban landmark. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of Crystal Palace Football Club and the passion of its devoted fanbase. This aerial photograph is part of the extensive Aerofilms Collection, held by Historic England. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Selhurst Park and the evolution of Crystal Palace Football Club.
