EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the history of Molineux Stadium, located on Waterloo Road in Wolverhampton. The image showcases the Waterloo Street Stand after its closure and before its eventual demolition in 1992. Designed by the renowned architect Archibald Leitch, this stand held significant importance to football enthusiasts and locals alike. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia as we witness the disused state of this once vibrant sporting venue. Closed for safety reasons during the 1980s, it stood as a silent reminder of past glory days. However, hope was on the horizon as a new stand was set to open just one year later in August 1993. Simon Inglis expertly captures both the grandeur and melancholy surrounding Molineux Stadium through his lens. The image serves as a testament to not only our love for sport but also our ability to adapt and improve upon historic structures while preserving their legacy. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that even though buildings may come and go, their stories remain etched within our collective memory. This print is an ode to Molineux Stadium's rich heritage and symbolizes how sports grounds hold an enduring place within communities throughout generations.
