The Hornchurch Stadium is an athletics and football stadium located on Bridge Avenue in Upminster in the London Borough of Havering, East London, England. It is home to the Hornchurch F.C. and Havering Mayesbrook Athletics Club.
History
The stadium was opened in 1956 by Hornchurch Urban District Council.[1] It was the home ground of the original Hornchurch F.C. until they were dissolved in 2005.
Facilities
The stadium has a capacity of 3,000, of which 800 is seated and 1,400 is covered.[2] One stand, the 'Riverside', took its name from the River Ingrebourne, a few feet away.
