A Ham Amenities Group talk on fifty years of Wates Estate prompted me to revisit the area and to take this picture of a fairly typical scene. The housing is attractive enough, if fairly modest in appearance, but what makes Wates Estate so attractive is the overall design that created lots of open spaces between the houses and paths to move around them.
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.
