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 this site was occupied by Dreamland Electric Blanket Company. The photographer is looking up at an high level corrugated iron clad timber walkway between two brick buildings. The walkway is shown to be leaving a 12ft headroom from the roadway. The adjoining building is also clad in corrugated iron sheeting.
