View of Ferry Lane
Description
This view shows the part of Ferry Lane that leads from Kew Green towards the Thames and the Thames Path in the Kew Green conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. There are brick boundary walls to both sides of the road. The one to the left is believed to belong to Hanover House at 57 Kew Green, a three-storey eighteenth-century house that was Grade II listed in 1950; listing number 1065400. The building shown behind the wall is believed to have served the Commonwealth Mycological Institute, but it has since been demolished and replaced by the impressive twenty-first century herbarium and library wing of the Royal Botanic Gardens by Edward Cullinan Architects. To the right, the gate and wall are thought to belong to 59 Kew Green, one of a pair of late eighteenth-century houses that were also Grade II listed in 1950; listing number 1065401. The single storey building has since been removed and replaced by classroom pods. The three-storey post-war building beyond the tall bare trees is Layton House, now the Kew Green Preparatory School. A man in an overcoat can just be seen walking towards the riverside, where a sign directs traffic to a car park. Some temporary roads signs indicate roadworks.
