Lea Bridge Stadium, Former football and speedway stadium in Leyton, England.
The Lea Bridge Stadium featured a covered stand on the northern touchline and concrete terracing around three sides, accommodating up to 20,000 spectators.
The stadium served as the home ground for Clapton Orient from 1930 to 1937, hosting its first League match against Newport County in front of 5,505 spectators.
The venue played a role in British cinema when motorcycle speedway scenes for the 1933 film 'Britannia of Billingsgate' were recorded at the stadium.
The Football League raised concerns about safety regarding the proximity of the pitch to the speedway track, leading to two matches being relocated to Wembley Stadium.
The stadium achieved its highest attendance of 20,400 people on March 13, 1937, before being converted into an industrial estate in the 1970s.
