Description

Important social history - see chapters 3 & 6. Surviving buildings are two storey in two main blocks, facing the river with a riverside terrace. White painted stucco with hipped slate roofs. With their deep, bracketed eaves, moulded window and door surrounds, they have an Italianate character suggesting a mid19C date. They may have older origins as riverside villas. At the north end of the main block is a lower 2storey wing, with the entrance to the former Brigade of Guards Boating Club, with dated key block 1883. There is a further two storey and attic range further up Mill Lane with a later 19C character. Interior inspection would be required for further investigation of the building's history and the survival of internal features. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Taplow Riverside. (B1).
