The news of the demolition of Ham Gate by an incompetent motorist spread quickly and I saw, and responded to, many comments about it on X (Twitter). Most of these were dismayed at the loss of the dratic gates but welcomed the prospect of having that entrance to Richmond Park closed to motorists for months to come, and that is a view that I share. Already walking around the area is much nicer.
Sad that I can no longer enter Ham gate. I am handicapped and elderly and this was my entry to Richmond Park.
ReplyDeleteYou can, of course, still walk through Ham Gate, drive through one of the other gates or visit one of the many other local parks and gardens.
