For so long this prime spot has been empty and peeling. Now shutters have been installed with reports that a fast food outlet will be opening there. Any evidence gratefully received…

As an apology for serious downtime Wansteadium has had this week we gladly display this photograph by David Gibson taken in Wanstead Park on Monday. It’s a bonus.

…not actually in Wanstead, whatever it says

The Times has reported that more people are keeping hedgehogs as pets. Ideas of fleas aside it’s an interesting idea, but even if not for you, it’s the time of year when we mount our traditional Hedgehog Spotting Collective. Please let us know if you see any hedgehogs in Wanstead, dead or alive. Photos and videos welcome too. In previous years we’ve proved that there are still hogs alive, though sightings remain rare.

Any hog intelligence to hedgehogs@wansteadium.com
