TL4559 : Trinity First and Third Boathouse
taken 11 years ago, near to Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

The brick building is painted cream, with grey decoration. The first floor has two metal-framed windows, each with a crest above. A pair of fully glazed double doors open on to a central balcony with a metal balustrade and decorative sweeping supports. On each side of the doors is a fixed metal-framed window. A metal ladder staircase to the left hand side gives access to the first floor.
The ground floor has three upwards-opening doors, and a single-storey side extension has one pair of double doors.
The college boat houses are along the River Cam, downstream of Victoria Bridge.
Rowing first started at Cambridge in 1825, before it was introduced at Oxford. The first College boat club established was St. Johns, closely followed by Trinity. By 1830 Jesus, Magdalene, Emmanuel, Christ’s, Corpus Christi and Peterhouse Colleges had also founded boat clubs, and by 1835 a total of fifteen Colleges had them. Newnham ladies founded the first women’s boat club in 1896.
The first College boathouse was built for Trinity in 1872, and by the end of the nineteenth century most of the Colleges had built, or started to build, boathouses of their own.
Trinity College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in England. Trinity is one of Cambridge University's three royal colleges, along with King's and St John's.
