26 Petersham Road

As fonts used for house numbers go this is one of the most stylish. It has a lovely Art Deco feel to it, which is always a good thing. And most importantly, they are very easy to read.

Bridge closures

In my defence this Advance Warning sign is on the north side of Teddington Footbridge so I had not read it when trying to cross the bridge late at night  the other week so I had to abandon my beer plans. 

The coming weekend closure is also an issue as I have been known to go to the Open Mic at The Hogarth on a Sunday night, as do other people from Ham and North Kingston. Other arrangement will have to be made.

Briony's Memorial Garden

The limited landscaping at the current Ham Close development is a few raised beds on the lawns, one of which carries a lovely sign announcing that it is Briony's Memorial Garden. The sign is a little old and battered but I hope that there is a place for it in the new Ham Close.

New gates

I few weeks ago I posted a picture of the old gates here with designs for the new gates posted on them, and this is the result. They fit their setting perfectly and the brashness of being new will quickly fade and they will look as though they have been their comfortably forever.

Shrine

Sadly there have been a few shines constructed in Ham in recent years and while most either get removed after a while or get renewed on anniversaries, like the one on Dukes Avenue, this one on Petersham Road endures.
