More about this scene
We are looking onto Nag's Head Island from the river bridge. Until the 1960s there were two boat building and hiring businesses occupying the west part of the island. Halford's to the rear was demolished, and the site was cleared for the grounds of the successors to Stevens & Carter Boats Ltd, whose ramshackle sheds were something of an eyesore. These were rebuilt (in more durable style, although not overly attractive it has to be said) as Kingcraft Boat Centre offering services, chandlery, a boat yard and boat hire.
