March 26, 20197 yr Oh and it was nice to see Arsenal losing that FA Cup 4th Round tie away to Derby County. Footage above on this page. Even if it was away back in 1949

Found this about the photograph and it appears that the photograph was taken in 1909, four years after the club was formed so probably is one of the earliest photographs of the Bridge and suspect the first aerial picture. I guess that the photograph was taken from an airship as planes were still in their infancy. I could be wrong though given that the first crossing of the English Channel by plane took place in 1909. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_%26_Fulham_railway_station

I suspected it was certainly a very early picture taken of The Bridge from the air.

The game between Chelsea and Charlton at Stamford Bridge went ahead, and both sides scored a goal, but in the second half the fog thickened and Charlton keeper Sam Bartram began to lose sight of his team-mates. 'We were on top at this time and i saw fewer and fewer figures as we attacked steadely' he remembers in his autobiography. Bartrap paced up and down his goal-line, assuming that his side has the opposition pinned in their own half. After several lonely minutes, a figure emerged from the fog. "What on earth are you doing here?" enquired a policeman. "The game was stopped a quarter of an hour ago. The field is completely empty!" "When i groped my way to the dressing room," wrote Bartram, "the rest of the Charlton team, already out of the bath and in their civvies, were convulsed of laugther."
