No pictures from the archives this week, mainly because I’ve misplaced the box full of photographs. Instead, here is a rather poor shot of the fire in Stratford earlier today.
As seen from about two miles away at Mile End about an hour after it started.
They paid £400,000* for this?
It’s graffiti isn’t it?
Couldn’t they have given Daniel Halpin (the TOX-03 guy from the tube) a small grant and got him to spray LDN-12 everywhere instead? Just as much of an eyesore, but a damn sight cheaper.
* Note: This number may have been pulled from my arse, but I doubt it is far wrong.
EDIT: Wow, I guessed correctly on the price.
Yay!
London will be hosting the 2012 Olympic games.
I work about a mile west of the soon to be Olympic Village. so I have something of a vested interest in seeing this area regenerated.
I doubt (hope) I’ll still be living and working in this area come 2012, but it will be interesting to see the changes as they happen.
