Old Wembley’s towers were buried beneath giant mounds of earth after demolition. The remains of the old Wembley Stadium lie buried in an unassuming park next to the A40 called Northala Fields. Traffic passes, but few people stop. The rubble collected from the demolition of Wembley’s towers forms four large hills, resembling Saxon burial mounds or barrows. Much like Saxon sites, there is little adorning the hills and almost nothing to suggest that a great national institution lies here.

Not according to Chris Palmer, spokesman for the sports complex. He says the rumour that a steam train is buried under the hallowed turf is an urban myth, stemming from the fact that a steam generator used during the 1932 construction of the stadium was abandoned after it toppled over. But he promised that the engine would be recovered if it hadn't rusted away if workmen uncovered it during the £326 million rebuilding programme, due to start this week.
