Boathouse 5 (easternmost 13 bays), Platts Eyot, Hampton - Richmond upon Thames

Timber-framed boathouse built in 1917 by Augustine Alban Hamilton Scott for the Thorneycroft firm to build torpedo boats for the Admiralty. A full measured survey of the remaining structure has been completed, but it is in very bad condition with a large area of collapse. Some parts of the structure have been carefully taken down and stored on site while discussions are ongoing with the Local Authority. Solutions for this structure, including the rebuilding of the Belfast trusses, are being discussed as part of the expected overall strategy for Platts Eyot.
