Statement of Significance
The former Forest Gate is of local significance as a surviving guest house of the 1890s with turn of the century additions, demonstrating the importance of tourism even at this early date. It has important historical associations with Emma Webb, a theatrical dresser, niece of George Launder, carpenter and builder, and eight hour pioneer, who played a major role in the establishment in the early 1890s of Wonga Park's village settlement. The Webb's guest house run by Emma and her husband, William, a professional singer, was located on 13 acres, part of an 1893 subdivision of Launder's Wonga Park farm. (Criterion A4, B2, H1)
