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.

Barclays has closed
When I moved to Ham in 1996 there were three banks on Ham Parade and now with the closure of Barclays there are none.
This is a double-blow for Ham as not only have we lost the banks but we are due to get a chain supermarket from Sainsbury's which will be a serious threat to some of the local shops. I will not be shopping there and I will continue to support the local shops.
Work to change the building started immediately and both the sign and the cash machine have gone.
