Lifeboat House

The Lifeboat House is a functional structure featuring timber-framed walls that are clad in painted corrugated iron, topped with a curved roof made of similar cladding supported by thin bolted steel trusses. It has three windows on each side, consisting of casement pairs with top-lights that step down the slope. At the rear, there is a central door with a cambered-headed casement pair above it. The front has a curved gable with a modern plastic-coated window and slightly overhanging full-width folding timber doors. There is a galleried room over the front, which is a later 20th-century addition. This lifeboat house was constructed to house a new motor lifeboat following the tragic loss of the previous boat and three crew members in 1910.
