An Upton Park image to treasure!

|

Upton Park by airWith the curtain coming down on 111 years of Boleyn history at the end of the 2015/16 we are happy to publish again a picture which we believe is the best ever produced of Upton Park and surrounding area.

The image was caught from a police helicopter flying in over Plaistow. I have it as the wallpaper on my laptop and feel free to use it as you will.

Mooro once said to me when we were doing newspaper columns together:”The best camera is in your head.”

Spot on Bob …but this image ain’t half bad!

    Hugh, I have an overhead shot of the Boleyn taken by the Police helicopter during the Man Utd match. Would like to share with everyone. How do I do this?

      Cas are you on the Facebook group? Could get it through there perhaps? Or pop it into an image sharing site and post the link perhaps?
