- BOAT HOUSE (Mid 19th C to Early 20th C - 1862 AD to 1930 AD)
Description
A boat house is shown near the shore in Watershoot Bay, 0.5km to the west of Knowles Farm. This building has apparently been moved back to a new site by 1907, and has disappeared by 1939. Erosion of the shoreline here is particularly rapid, and the first site is probably now lost to sea. A building appears to be shown here on Andrews map of 1769, although this is given as the boat house in the county SMR, this is unlikely as there was a farm hereabouts called Pitlands Farm at this time. This was destroyed by a landslip in 1799, and it is possible that the ruins or an outbuilding was later used as the 1862 boathouse.
