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 inside a large single storey steel framed building with windows on all sides and a pitched roof which has a row of roof lights in it. He is looking along the length of the space from the centreline. The building has been almost stripped of internal fittings and furniture and has a tiled floor. A small office is in one corner.
