Pictures from the 1908 Olympic Games - the 100m swimming pool is within the central grassed area on the right-hand side (top picture) and the left-hand side (bottom picture). The whole stadium was going to be demolished at the end of 1908 when the Franco-British Exhibition ended but was saved as athletes liked th ground so much. Note the 2 different tracks around the outside of the central area: a concrete cycling track, then a cinder athletics track. For the Olympics, the cnetral grassed area was used for the athletic field events plus archery, gymnastics, wrestling, football, hockey, lacrosse and rugby union. There was also a demonstration of bicycle polo.
