White Hart Lane stadium removed from Ordnance Survery maps as new Tottenham stadium takes shape

Tottenham's White Hart Lane stadium has been removed from Ordnance Survey maps as the site of the famous old ground is updated on official maps.

White Hart Lane closed its doors last season after 118 years, marked by a farewell ceremony attended by players and managers past and present, as Spurs make way for their new stadium.

The project, estimated to be costing over £800million, will be built partially on the site of the old ground and is scheduled to open for the start of next season.

Ordnance Survey, who provide the Britian's most up-to-date and accurate maps, have now removed White Hart Lane as they await the new home of the club.

"We usually share stories about our teams adding new features to the map, such as the Queensferry Crossing or even a whale, but we also have to remove features from our database," OS write on their official blog.

"London-based surveyor Tony Killilea was recently tasked with removing a football stadium from the map."

It continues: "Tony and the team will be visiting regularly over the next 12 months as Tottenham build their new 61,000 capacity stadium, which is due to open for the 2018-19 football season, to ensure that it is logged in our database too."
