Thanks again to TCE and BDL for these framed photos donated to the CL/Bromley Addicks Auction for the CAFC Academy. We've already raised (when the late payers cough up over £2,300)
Usual auction rules. Winner will need to collect or pay postage. Auction ends on Friday 25 November at 5.00pm
Some great pics of ye olden days that would make great presents for Christmas or just look good on the walls of your home/office.
Lot A 1921/2 team squad pictured on the Valley pitch with the Cliff (Later the Heights/East Terrace/Stand) behind them. This was the Club's first season in the football league 90 years ago. Some minor marks on the frame. 15.5' x 12.5' Opening bid £8
Lot B Charlton fans on their way to one of the 40s cup finals. Rumours that they are Oggy, Len and Fanny can not be confirmed. In very good condition other than some scuffs on the frame 11.5' x 12.5' Opening bid £5
Lot C FA Cup Winning Squad posing with the trophy. A plastic wood-look frame in very good condition 14.5' x 12.5' Opening bid £3
Lot D A photo I don't think I have ever seen before of the Valley during a game in what I guess is the 40s or 50s. The photo appears to have been taken outside the ground from roughly where Valiant House is now although if anyone can confirm/correct that I'd be delighted.
Wonderful view of the old Covered End and beyond to industrial Charlton. 14.5' x 12.5' and in very good condition bar one scuff on wooden frame. Opening bid £12
Happy Bidding although I would be more than happy if there were no bids on A & D so I can keep them for myself

It looks like it could be taken from the area between Sam Bartram Close (just behind Valliant House) and Lansdowne Mews. There's still a small area of greenery just past the houses in Sam Bartram Close. My guess is that's roughly where the photographer stood.
No floodlights so pre-63, completed East Terrace so post late 20s/Early 30s There is a similar photo but taken from a different spot in Battle for the Valley which say 50s.
