Demolition at West Ham's old Upton Park home has continued, with one of the ground's stands now reduced to rubble

The Hammers left their old home in May to move into the former Olympic Stadium in Stratford, leaving behind 112 years of history in order to move into their 60,000-seater new home.

Upton Park's old East Stand, the smallest of the four at the ground, has already been reduced to rubble, with work set to continue on the rest of the ground over the coming months.

The site will then be developed for housing.
