It is very obvious that there used to be a gate here and that the entrance there was no longer required but I think the wrong solution was chosen. The gate could have been left, locked if need be, with the hedge allowed to grow in front of it. That would have been cheaper and easier than bricking the gap up and would have allowed the change to be reversed at some point too. As it is, the different bricks are very conspicuous and draw unnecessary attention to the missing gate.
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.
