| In 1913 Woolwich Arsenal Football Club moved north to Highbury, dropping Woolwich from its name. Their chairman Henry Norris took a 20 year lease on part of the grounds of St John’s Hall for £20,000. The new Arsenal Stadium (also called Highbury) was built there. The club prospered and by 1925 had purchased the freehold. In 2006 the club moved to a new stadium on the west side of Drayton Park in Holloway and the old ground and some of its stands will be converted to residential dwellings. |
