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.

Princess Alice Hospice shop on Ham Parade
This was Giftbox for almost forever and then was empty for a while and now it is a Princess Alice Hospice shop.
I have mixed feelings about this. Almost any shop is better than an empty space but I miss Giftbox and we already have one charity shop just few doors up the Parade. This is not shop that I expect to visit, whereas Giftbox was, so it is dead-zone to me, as are the estate agents and bookies. These places bring some colour to the Parade but not much life.
