HC Deb 02 August 1888 vol 329 c1247
MR. TOMLINSON(for Sir JOHN WHITTAKER ELLIS) (Surrey, Kingston)

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether greater facilities of access to Kew Gardens cannot be granted by opening a new gateway entrance?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)

I am in communication with the owner of the property lying between the Kew Railway Station and the Gardens, and I have reason to hope that he will agree to the making of a new road through his land. In that case I have undertaken to open a gate directly facing and in view of the exit from the station. This will be an improvement and a great convenience to the public.
