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.

George Vancouver
I am embarrassed to admit that I only became aware of George Vancouver's connection with the area through an announcement made on a flight back from the city that carries his name.
His grave, in St. Peter's church, used to be as old and weathered as all the rest and so it was quite a challenge to find it but the fresh light stone makes it stand out now.
