The Denes in Craig Road is starting to take shape. The building at the front is a row of town houses which, for some reason, got planning permission separately even though they must have been in the plan from the beginning. The building behind, the brickwork about half way up the picture, is the two blocks of flats at the back of the development. I don't know yet if they have got planning permission for the addition of a third floor where they want to put two penthouses. The roof in the background belongs to the fairly new mansion on the south-east side of Ham Common. The owners there must be less than impressed by the prospect of being overlooked by the new penthouses.
There is more than one property in Ham that is called simply "The Cottage" and this one is in Dukes Avenue. It's a rather nice house that is very unlike it much newer neighbours.
St Andrews House is on Upper Ham Street and looks west across Ham Common to St Andrews Church.
The Ham Brewery Tap has the advantages of being one of the few pubs left in Ham and of possessing this rather grand sign. Sadly the pub does not live up to it.
These Almshouses are in Ham Street (which leads down to the river from Ham Common) next to Grey Court School.
