About

Ham ward lies on the western bank of the River Tamar, directly opposite the Devonport dockyard. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing built for dockyard workers. Its streets run steeply down to the waterfront, offering clear views across the river to the naval base and its historic buildings.

The ward is defined by its industrial and maritime history, with the large, modern Tamar Bridge crossing overhead. A key local feature is the presence of the Royal Navy's frigate refit complex at the water's edge. Community life centres around local shops and schools, with green space provided by Victoria Park on its eastern boundary.
