Full Description
Lifeboat house, originally erected for the construction of the lifeboat Henry Ramey Upcher in 1894, and thereafter used as its house. Gable to northwest weatherboarded; two other masonry rendered gables, presumably later, set back to one side. The bridge that carries the promenade over the slipway had, until its reconstruction in the 1990s, a plaque dated 1904 saying that the public were only allowed to cross by permission of the Admiralty.
(S1) in file also press cuttings about proposed rebuilding as a museum (S2)(S3).
E. Rose (NLA), 19 March 2007.
