Broad Leys, Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club [taken on 18/4/2008 by Flickr user bods]
Broad Leys was designed by the Architect Voysey. IT was originally built in 1898 as a holiday home for the owners of Kendal Milne Department Store in Manchester. It is now home of motor boat racing on Windermere although there is no racing now since the introduction of the 10mph speed limit.
Charles Voysey was a prominent Arts & Crafts Movement architect and designer, born in Yorkshire in 1857. His houses featured white rough rendered walls with horizontal ribbon windows and huge pitched roofs, and are recognised for their simplicity, originality and total abandonment of historical tradition.
