Cook's Shipyard mid 2000s
Before and during the construction phase
Judith Gibson and Peter Hill
Below is a photographic record of some of the stages of development of the Cook’s Shipyard site, prior to its completion around 2006, although the final phase Bawley House was only finished in 2018. The design of the old shipyard sheds has been retained in some of the current buildings, to reflect the area’s maritime past.
