Stage 5

Celebrating boat building on Faversham Creek

​

Creative industries are growing in the Thames Estuary Zone, however craft is on the decline. Subsequently this project focuses on revitalising and celebrating the craft of boat building along Faversham Creek.

​

This will be achieved through the creation of a new row club and boat building centre. The centre will include a boat building school, student accommodation, boat building workshops and a museum space that displays renovated boats.

​

This museum space will aim to incorporate Oyster Bay House, an existing grade 2 listed structure previously used for storing hops.
