The Denes is now finished

The Denes in Craig Road has taken quite a while to finish but it is finally there apart from some minor works. Many of the flats in the block behind these town-houses are now occupied.

Pond House on Ham Common


Pond House, not surprisingly, looks towards the pond on Ham Common. It is one of a pair of similar houses  though they have had different extensions.

Christmas decorations in Stretton Road

These Christmas decorations can be found in Stretton Road, near to the junction with Woodville Road.

Watergate

Watergate is one of the houses on Ham Common near the junction with Ham Street.

Path to Stretton Road

Most of the between-the-wars housing in Ham has walkways that give access to the rear of the properties and provide shortcuts between the roads. This one is between Ham Street and Stretton Road.

The Manor House

The Manor House is on the corner of Ham Street and Sandy Lane.

St Thomas Aquinas Church


St Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church has a commanding position on the junction of Ham Common and Ham Street. It makes the most of this with its bright white coat that is clearly visible from the other side of the Common.
