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 pot holed roadway at two large corrugated iron clad buildings with large sliding doors in the end and fitted with lines of roof ventilators.  Outside these buildings are a stack of prefabicated steelwork, possibly dexion racking, stacks of wooden pallets and empty cable reels.
