Hanham War Memorial
This stone Celtic cross is the memorial to the men who gave their lives in both World Wars. It was dedicated on 24 February, 1924, and used to stand at the junction of Whittucks Road and Hanham High Street. Owever, increasing traffic prompted a repositioning here in front of the Folk Centre in 1957.

Hanham Community Centre
The centre has a long history, beginning with a small group of First World War veterans who wanted to provide some local amenity for all. Land was donated and various groups gathered to raise sufficient funds for a building. After WWII some wooden huts were obtained and Hanham Folk Centre came into being in 1949. By the early 1960s the stable balance sheets helped offers of more grants. Mr. B. Woodward drew up the architectural plans for new brick buildings as well as improved sports grounds and facilities. The present building was officially opened on 16th June 1964.

You can tell it's a windy day
Rubbish bins, skittled by the gale. This occurs after they have been emptied, and many a recycling box has scuttled down the hill.
