The Lillie Bridge Grounds was a sports ground in London near to present day Stamford Bridge, opened around 1867. The ground started to fall into disuse after the opening of Stamford Bridge, and after a riot on 18 September 1887 which destroyed the track and grandstand, it finally closed in 1888.〔http://aolsearch.aol.co.uk/image_browse?query=Lillie%20Bridge&first=&last=&imgurl=http://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/Pix/TRA/68/10417968_T.JPG&refurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceandsociety.co.uk%2Fresults.asp%3Ftxtkeys1%3DForemen&width=128&height=106&requestId=4a30cf7bbeb70cf1&clickedItemRank=5&encquery=Lillie%20Bridge&page=4〕〔http://www.london-underground.de/albums/Depots1/lillie_bridge_depot_1.jpg〕 Lillie Bridge is these days better known as a London Underground (LUL) maintenance depot, and the Earls Court 2 annexe of the Earls Court Exhibition Centre complex was built over the railway lines.〔http://aolsearch.aol.co.uk/image_browse?query=Lillie%20Bridge%20Grounds&first=&last=&imgurl=http://prodigi.bl.uk/EvanImages/BLCD/big/C080/C0809-08.jpg&refurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bl.uk%2Fcatalogues%2Fevanion%2FZOOM.ASP%3FEvanID%3D439%26ImageNo%3D0&width=1066&height=1500&requestId=8d0771872a81a964&clickedItemRank=4&encquery=Lillie%20Bridge%20Grounds&page=〕 It is also now home to the Empress State Building completed in 1961.
