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 at the rendered frontage, two storey flat roofed office/showroom building fronting Dibden Shore Road. Cars parked in front of the office/showroom include the Ford Fiesta Slipstream PMH 652R, the Zastava 128 C51 YCR and the Honda Prelude MPR 430W.
