Gothic Boathouse, Gunnersbury Park, Gunnersbury Avenue - Hounslow

Mid C19 Gothic folly tower, converted from a tile kiln and situated on the southern shore of Potomac Lake. Some repair and emergency works have been undertaken, partly funded by Historic England. Extensive further repairs are required and a new use needs to be secured. Discussions are continuing between stakeholders in order to set out timescales for a future project, and potential new funding sources are being explored. Works to control the vegetation are planned in the meantime.
