Trinity’s was the first College boathouse. It was first built in 1872, but was rebuilt in 1896. The existing boathouse was built in 1935, using the basic fabric of the 1896 building and is a Building of Local Interest. It has a hipped slate roof with two chimney-stacks at the side. 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.
