Ham Photos is a growing archive of photos of Ham (at the meeting of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames in south-west London), where I have lived since 1996. It captures the small changes that are easily missed and delights in the unusual, the unexpected and the unnoticed.

Tollemache Almshouses have an ugly sign
I find it incredible that anybody thought it appropriate to put such a large brash sign on the quaint period almshouses in Ham Street. The silver background is too harsh and contrasts horribly with the brick, the bland black font has no character or charm, and either it or the wall is not straight.
It is a shame that they did not take a lead from the nice gold sign behind.

I agree! I am all for clarity but a change in font would certainly help reduce the brashness..
