All Rights Reserved The White City Stadium, built for the London 1908 Olympics, held 93,000 and was considered a technological marvel. The stadium included a cinder track, a turf track and around the outer edge of the arena, immediately below the seats, a concrete cycle track with contours banked up at the curves to a height of 10 feet. The designers boasted, '60 miles an hour could be attained with perfect safety'. The swimming pool was fourteen feet deep at its centre to accommodate diving displays, it had the novel feature of a 55 foot diving tower. The distance from the start of the Marathon to the finish at the stadium was established at these games. The original distance of 25 miles was changed to 26 miles so the marathon could start at Windsor Castle, and then changed again at the request of Princess Mary so the start would be beneath the windows of the Royal Nursery. The 1948 Olympic Games were the first of the postwar era. Britain was still suffering the after effects of the war. Rationing was in operation. Bomb sites remained throughout London and other major cities.
