Tough’s Boatyard

Synopsis
Tough’s Boatyard on the River Thames was one of the collection points for the little ships that went to Dunkirk. The yard itself was a well-known Thames River business, building and repairing tugs, barges and pleasure boats. It had to close because of dwindling orders and the redevelopment of the town centre in Kingston upon Thames. Filmed November 1989.
