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.

Hidden post on Dukes Avenue
This nondescript post (which I assumed incorrectly was a mile post) is almost hidden on the triangular patch of greenery between Dukes Avenue and Craig Road. Age has erased any text that once gave the post a purpose.
Update: I have now been told that this is one of the posts that once marked the border between Richmond and Kingston. One of its siblings can be found on Ham Parade.

We had one of these stones in our front garden at 2 Lammas Road where I grew up in the 50s and 60s. I miss Ham and being sandwiched between Richmond and Kingston!
