58 Access arrangements (capacity, proximity to major roads): There is no vehicular access to the island and it is only possible to gain access by foot (across the footbridge) or by boat. Comments (2000) Andrew Sims was unavailable for interview and information about the site was obtained from a site visit and previous study undertaken by Adams Hendry on boatbuilding activities on Eel Pie Island. The yard concentrated on the construction, assembly and repair <strong>of</strong> racing rowing craft. It is understood however, that the business is being relocated to a site away from the River Thames. Comments (2007) The business has been relocated to Goring-on-Sea where the construction <strong>of</strong> sculling boats and supply <strong>of</strong> sculls and oars continues. The Eel Pie Island premises are vacant. <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boatyard</strong> <strong>Facilities</strong> on the River Thames Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd - April 2007
