The former British Power Boat Co Ltd boatyard at Hythe, Hampshire

The former boatyard of the British Power Boat Co. Ltd. The company was formed 30 September 1927 to use R Kemp's Hythe Boatyard which Hubert-Scott Paine had purchased in the same year. The British Power Boat Company became a limited liability company in June 1938 and was liquidated in 1947. In 1989 the site was occupied by Dreamland Electric Blanket Company. The photographer is looking towards two corrugated iron buildings under double pitched corrugated asbestos roofs, each of which has a corrugated iron side extension under a single pitched corrugated asbestos roof. A two storey brick building under a shallow pitched roof is on the right. Grass and gorse bushes are in the foreground.
