Boleyn Ground bricks go unclaimed

|

Hundreds of bricks salvaged from the Boleyn Ground remain unclaimed two years after they were saved.

Volunteers from the Bobby Moore Fund have sorted through hundreds of memorial bricks from West Ham’s former Upton Park stadium in a bid to reunite them with loved ones. The bricks, many of which have been inscribed with names of fans who have passed away, were saved by the company in charge of demolishing the Boleyn Ground.

Donna Heuerman, whose son Jonjo has raised thousands for the Bobby Moore Fund is largely responsible for organising the effort to reunite the bricks with their owners or families of those now passed on.

The full list of names and inscriptions is posted on Jonjo’s website and/or the Boleyn Brick Salvage Facebook page

Please have a look at the list and if you know someone on the list please contact them to let them know they can be reunited with their brick again.
