It was suggested that I put my photos on Flickr as a historic record of our stadium's build. These 750 or so photos are the ones I submitted for the "Stadium Yes" book, of which a small percentage were used. I took over 6,000 altogether, but it was tricky enough uploading just these!
I didn't put them in the existing BHA Flickr group as I wanted the photos all together and you can't add an Album to a group.
Here you are. https://www.flickr.com/photos/128321708@N03/sets/72157651087142822/

What we really want Jack is another of your calendars- failing that a fridge magnet would be a move forward. Seriously though- a great photographic history of the stadium build.

We were living in Spain when the Amex was going up and Jack's fabulous photo shots were a fantastic link to what was happening. The book is brilliant, JS.

Sadly, I'd never been so excited over a giant crane before then.

Thanks JS.

The 'Friday' updates were always eagerly awaited! Its incredible to think that we are already well into our 4th season at our beautiful stadium.

Wonderful pictures. Great to see them again. How we eagerly awaited Friday's! Never forget the car chase to photo the first pieces of the roof. Thanks Jack.

Fantastic trip down memory lane.

The days when phrases such as bull nosed edging and dog's head tooth entered my lexicon of erotica.

Thanks Jack.

Nice one Graeme.

It only seems like 3 years or so ago that all the updates ending meant Fridays got back to a boring normal.

Oh, wait...

Plus it was nice to see at least one of mine made it into the book.

Just updated this with phots from a pre-season visit, the Sussex Senior Cup Final, and the Spurs and Doncaster games. I think that completes the story of the build from start to finish.
