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 across the space from one side . The building has been almost stripped of internal fittings and furniture and has a tiled floor. A small office is in one corner.
