Full Description
Rocket House marked on 1902 and 1929 Ordnance Survey maps (1) (2). The building is shown on the 1890 map but is not labelled as a rocket house and may have been used as a boat house at this date (3).
The boathouse which housed the equipment of the volunteer West Bay Rocket Crew was to the rear of the Methodist Chapel (4).
The boat house appears to still survive.
