Queen Elizabeth Stadium

Queen Elizabeth Stadium is a sports pavilion and grandstand designed in 1939 but completed in 1953. It is constructed of concrete with stock brick cladding and features flat felt roofs.

The exterior includes a wide single-storey section on both the north side, facing the athletics field, and the south side, with bowed ends. The north side has a frieze of 26 metal casement windows under the eaves, while the south side has two projections that house toilet and shower facilities. The upper stage features a half-glazed café with four 3-light metal casements on each side, with the eastern pair curving to meet a brick and concrete drum. The lower half of the drum is continuously glazed with five similar, curving metal casements. The western half of the upper element on the south side is blank, serving as the back of a covered first-floor grandstand, which has a raking floor and seating. The canopy is supported by two reinforced concrete columns and one corner pier, with metal railings surrounding the café and grandstand.

Inside, the main staircase and entrance are located at the east end, leading to an oval reception hall with fawn-coloured wall tiles. Corridors extend east and west from the hall, featuring a curved oval staircase made of cantilevered reinforced concrete steps, with a steel balustrade that includes square-section verticals, six flat rails, and a chromium-plated flat handrail. The drum has a continuous glazed circle at the first floor, with two metal casements and a double-leaf glazed metal door facing the café. The café has four reinforced concrete ceiling beams and a serving hatch at the south-west corner, along with a door leading to a plain former kitchen at the west end.

Long corridors extend east and west from the entrance hall, with tiled wall surfaces. Numerous changing rooms open to the north and south. The gentlemen's toilet block on the east side retains its original porcelain, while the ladies' facilities have been replaced. The shower rooms feature plumbing and fittings from the early 1950s.
