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 brick built building, probably on the ground floor. Windows are on both side of the building and a ventilation trunking runs the length of the building under a wooden ceiling which is fixed to transverse concrete beams. On the right is bench with a clock reading 4.03 on the wall above it and next to the bench are two cast iron swivel chairs with SINGER cast into the base of the pedestal. Pallets are on the floor and they contain boxes of Dreamland Superduvets, Dreamland electric blankets and Breville electric blankets.
