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.

Forbes House
Forbes House was, until recently, the newest addition to the grand houses on Ham Common but now it has been upstaged in newness and appearance by its next door neighbour.
Forbes House is impressive in scale but it does not look right for its setting, the brick is much lighter than its comparable neighbours and it is also a little too fussy. Neighbours Langham House and Gordon House are both much more attractive.
