The Lionel Pickering Entrance, Pride Park Stadium, Derby


Derby County’s opening game of the 2009-10 season was marked as ‘Lionel Pickering Day’ and a replica of the entrance to the Baseball Ground has been sited close to the ticket office at Pride Park Stadium, named as ‘the Lionel Pickering Entrance’. It was built from original materials from Derby’s old stadium, where Mr Pickering watched the Rams from childhood. The entrance provides that deserved and lasting tribute to him and fans will remember his great contribution and Matthew Montague Architects is happy to be involved in preparing the planning and re-construction drawings for this project.
