IT is one of the last remaining relics from the old Wembley. Not much else exists of the original home of football. When the iconic stadium was demolished in 2003, this chunk of footballing history was presented to the local council and rehoused in Brent River Park, where it has lived ever since. The Twin Towers of the old Wembley are famous throughout the world.

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. The rubble collected from the demolition of Wembley’s towers forms four large hills, resembling Saxon burial mounds or barrows. Each is covered in grass and wildflowers with a gravel path engraved in the side that circles its way to the top.
Much like Saxon sites, there is little adorning the hills and almost nothing to suggest that a great national institution lies here. Traffic passes, but few people stop. Today, the old Wembley’s remains shield the park and its wildlife from the spectacle and noise of the A40, making it a sanctuary for a different kind of devotion: that of the pilgrim, quietly paying their respects.

Demolished in 2002, parts of the former Wembley stadium can now be scaled, in its reincarnation as Northala Fields.
But there's another spot in London, where an original piece of England's former national stadium can be found... and touched.
And in the southern portion of this public park, along the River Brent, sits a particularly iconic hunk of the original 1923 stadium; the base of the flagpole from the east twin tower.
A Football Association plaque celebrates this remainder of the former great ground.
