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 along a roadway between concrete framed and brick built two storey buildings. A corrugated iron clad timber walkway is at high level connecting the buildings on either side of the roadway and it leaves a 12ft headroom. A Datsun Nissan Sunny A286 HEL is parked on the right.
