Boleyn Bricks saved

|

Brick2The demolition company has salvaged around 200 memorial bricks from the Boleyn Ground. The bricks bear the names of lost loved ones, names of supporters, personal messages etc. The company has kindly arranged for them to be passed on to Jonjo Heuerman/Bobby Moore Fund to sort and list so that he can help find the owners of the bricks and pass them on to them.

A couple of Jonjo’s helpers will visit the site on Monday to sort the bricks into alphabetical order and make a list so that we can share the messages/names on the bricks and help find the owners. We are hoping to arrange a collection point on Saturday 11th Feb but need to make the final arrangements with the company. Please do not turn up at the site in the meantime.

Bricks1If you know that your family/loved one had a memorial brick at Boleyn Ground please email jonjo@fornannyandbobby.com and we will do our best.

A small donation to The Bobby Moore Fund for sourcing, sorting and distributing the bricks would be appreciated particularly if we manage to find your brick. Donations can be paid on www.justgiving.com/fornannyandbobby more details will follow. The list will be added to Jonjo’s website www.fornannyandbobby.com next week. Please give us time to work through the bricks and list them.
