The origin of the name of Stamford Bridge Stadium

The name Stamford Bridge is of great commemorative significance in British history. The reign of King Harold was 10 years.

1966, there was a famous battle against the vikings at Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire. However, the name of Chelsea Stadium should have nothing to do with this history, but more to do with local landmarks. 18th century map shows that the area between Fulham Road and King Road includes the area where the current stadium is located. On the map, behind the east stand of the present stadium, there is a Stanford River that flows into the Thames along the railway direction. On the map, where the river crosses Fulham Road, there is a sign of "Little Chelsea Bridge". This place name was originally called "Sanford Bridge", and the place where the river crosses King Road is called "Stan Bridge". Now it seems that the name of this river and two bridges constitute the place name of "Stamford Bridge" and later became the name of Stamford Bridge Stadium. At present, the capacity of Stamford Bridge Stadium is 42,055 people, and the area of the stadium has changed from the initial huge oval to a quadrilateral very close to the turf. This stadium has not changed much in the past 10 years, only the "old ceiling wall" remains.

The rest of the stadium. On the 12.5 mu of land occupied by the stadium, two four-star hotels, five restaurants, conference facilities, nightclubs, underground parking lots, health centers and commercial centers have been built. The present Stamford Bridge Stadium is completely different from the original 1876 Stamford Bridge Stadium.
