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.

Teddington Lock's
The key dates on this plaque at Teddington Lock are timber lock constructed in 1810, first stone laid for the new lock on 3 June 1857, and lock open for traffic on 8 May 1958. A mystery in the superfluous apostrophe in "lock's" in the first line.
