Aerofilms Ltd have captured the action of the 1935 FA Cup Final between Sheffield Wednesday and West Bromwich Albion. Over 93,000 spectators watched Wednesday defeat West Brom 4-2. The stadium was built for the 1924 British Empire Exhibition. Designed by non-specialists, it had many shortcomings. Later known as Wembley Stadium, it was evolved to become entirely roofed by 1963 and all-seat by 1990. It was demolished and a new Wembley built, opening in 2007.
