Boleyn Ground memory returns

|

A piece of graffiti that came to symbolise the West Ham Boleyn ground memory for some supporters has itself  has returned after it was vandalised by graffiti itself.

The wall  has since been repainted and the ‘Long Live the Boleyn’ has been has repainted.

Neil Taylor from the Long Live the Boleyn  group posted the images on Facebook.

The wall is very close to the place that was West Ham’s home between 1904 and 2016.

This is located next a larger West Ham street art mural created by Norwich based artist David “Gnasher” Nash.  That street art was commissioned by West Ham supporter Vik Taak who works for Newham Council as a tenant liaison officer and is part of a Newham street art project.

The place the Boleyn Ground once stood has become a housing development with 842 new flats called Upton Gardens. A photograph of the original  Long Live the Boleyn graffiti wall can be seen below
