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.

Repairing the wall
The long wall along Ham Street by Ham House is being repaired, and not before time.
The main work is being done on the section by the Palm Centre where the wall pulls away from the road for a moment to make space for a small green. There has been a break in the wall here for a few years and now that is being fixed and the whole section is being repaired.
Unfortunately this involves a lot of ugly coloured plastic so I have not got a photo of it that is worth sharing. I hope to have something to show once it is finished.
Elsewhere along the wall there are signs of recent small repairs and others that are in progress. At the top two bricks have been found to fill a gap and are waiting to be fastened in place.Below a section of bricks has been prepared for repointing.
