Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of McCarthy and Stone to carry out a programme of historic building recording in advance of redevelopment works at the Boat House, Bitterne Park Triangle, Cobden Avenue, Southampton. The Site is centred on Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference (NGR) 443900 114030. The Site is to be redeveloped comprising the demolition of the existing buildings followed by the construction of a block of flats for the elderly with associated car parking and access. In addition, the proposed development will include the construction of a public River Footway. Historic building recording was required as a condition of the planning permission granted by Southampton City Council. A record of the building was made commensurate with an enhanced Level 1 as defined by the English Heritage guidance document Understanding Historic Buildings: a guide to good recording practice. The building recording was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) which was agreed in advance by the Planning Archaeologist of Southampton City Council. Cartographic evidence has established that the Site lay undeveloped on the east bank of the River Itchen until the late 1930s, when the land was reclaimed and a Boat House and two terraced properties (numbers 1 and 2 Whitworth Road were constructed on the Site. Proposed plans of the Boat House survive dating to April 1937, indicating that the property was constructed shortly after this date, although there are slight differences between the plans and the present building with regard to window openings and the layout of the Loft floor. Around the same time as the Boat House was constructed there appears to have been an expansion in the boat building industry in the vicinity of Cobden Bridge with a larger boat house depicted to the south of the Site in the 1933-1946 map. This was followed by two more boat houses on the west side of the river along with numerous landing stages and slipways by the time of the 1948-1949 map. An examination of the Boat House has indicated that the building was constructed in two phases with the main Boat House built during the late 1930s with a small extension over an existing open yard situated at the eastern end of the building occurring by 1954.
