Boathouse 4, Platts Eyot, Hampton - Richmond upon Thames
Timber-framed boathouse clad in corrugated zinc with a Belfast truss roof. It was constructed in 1916 by Augustine Alban Hamilton Scott for the Thorneycroft firm to build fast launches carrying torpedoes for the Admiralty. In May 2021, a significant fire took place on the island which has destroyed a large extent of Boathouse 4. The cause of the fire has been established as accidental. Prior to the fire, condition surveys were being carried out. Historic England and the Local Authority are discussing the future of the building with the owner.
