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 towards an open sliding door in the face of a large corrugated iron clad building under a double pitch corrugated asbestos roof. The building has two rows of rooflights in each pitch and the interior is lined with storage racks. Wire storage cages are outside the building. A vertical format negative.
