A Civil Defence role At the outbreak of World War Two, Twickenham stadium became a Civil Defence Depot, with special responsibilities as a decontamination centre in the event of a chemical attack on London.
The closest the stadium got to being hit by enemy action was in July when a V1 flying bomb fell in the front garden of a house opposite the West Gate, injuring 16 people.
Post-War developments After the war and for the next three decades, Twickenham lagged behind other large grounds in all areas of development. The 'concrete horseshoe' was completed in exactly years after the issue of amateurism split the Rugby Football Union in two and almost destroyed the England game.
The year will mark the centenary of the idea to build England's national stadium, which was realised in Twickenham. You can also find international shirts, training wear and equipment.
For matches, there are wheelchair bays at pitch-side and at higher levels, with space for people. Assistance dogs are welcome throughout the stadium and there is also hearing loop access for people with hearing or visual impairments on match days.
