Garages off Dukes Avenue


I am something of a fan of garages so it is lucky for me that there are so many clusters of them across Ham. These lie between Dukes Avenue and Maguire Drive and are in better condition than some locally.

There is something of a trend (it has happened twice that I know of) to demolish garages to make space for more housing. I suspect that these, and others will be gone and, to be fair, housing is probably a better use of the land.
