Title: chingford visit with pictures before and after
Post by: adam01 on July 25, 2008, 07:36 PM

i was on business last week in London , so while i was there i drove to chingford park to have a look at the changes . i say what a big change time has given . The half pipe is no longer ~ and in its place is a dirt track a small one at that , and in the pool area is some new school ramps not bad i say .  my damn dig camera batteries died on me so went to the local shop in chingford town and got a throw a way one and then went back to take some pictures as soon as i go and collect the pictures from my local town i will show you the changes in chingford .  shame to see it like that as bitd that was my life love them days great time and memories
