The "Boat
House" is located along the Colchester Road and was a thriving
business
providing river trips and refreshments during the early 1900`s
We know it sold Ginger Beer as many empty bottles have been recovered
from the river
In 1902 - 1916
Thomas Clarke was registered as "Pleasure Boat prop (The Boat
House)"
In 1917 Mrs Thomas Clarke was registered as "Pleasure Boat
prop (The Boat House)"
By 1927 - 1937
Arthur Mussett was now listed as the proprietor.
Sometime between
1917 and 1927 the ownership of this business may have changed hands.
It is not known
