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 - 1917 Thomas Clarke was registered as "Pleasure Boat prop (The Boat House)"

By 1927 - 1929 Arthur Mussett was now listed as the proprieter.

Sometime between 1917 and 1927 the ownership of this business changed hands.

It is not known when trading ceased
