A look at pre 1945 photos of Tottenham’s White Hart Lane.
General view of White Hart Lane
Tottenham Hotspur’s famous White Hart Lane is set to be demolished and will host it’s final ever game next week.
Spurs are moving to a spectacular new ground adjacent to the current site and will play their home games at Wembley next season so it can be constructed.
They will leave behind a ground steeped in history which has been situated in North London since 1899.
As many as 75,000 fans once crammed into the ground to watch a FA Cup clash in the 1930s, and the stadium has hosted international fixtures, memorably England v Germany.
We have collated 13 evocative black and white images to take a look at ahead of the ground’s last ever game, against Manchester United on Sunday.
