Origins of the Blue Beach House
The Iconic beach house began life during World War One when the Canadian Government shipped thousands of wooden huts to England to house the vast number of troops awaiting deployment to France and Belgium, Blue Beach House was one of these huts being designed to accommodate three military officers at a time. After the war was over, the huts were no longer required, and the British Government sold them off as surplus, their solid construction and easy assembly made them suitable for a range of uses - Many were acquired by sports clubs and are still in use today as cricket pavilions and club houses, others were repurposed as out-houses, holiday chalets, workshops and sheds.
