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 across a concrete yard at a two storey building of composite construction. Part of the building is concrete framed with brick infill panels and casement windows and part is of corrugated iron clad construction with a corrugated iron clad gable end and all under a double pitch corrugated asbestos roof. Two motor scooters are parked outside. A two storey corrugated iron clad building is on the right and leaning against this building is a ladies' bicycle.
