View showing the premises of Searle & Sons, boat builders and Wilcocke's Assembly Rooms in New Palace Road. The Royal State Barge, Admiral Nelson's Barge and the barge of Napoleon III were all kept here at Searle's boathouse. This area is now occupied by St.Thomas' Hospital and Palace Road is now renamed Lambeth Palace Road. Photograph by William Strudwick, given to the Council by Charles Woolley, April 1915.
