The information I had indicated that the Penryn Boatbuilding Company was located at Numbere 58 Southbury Road in Enfield. Being a librarian myself, I e-mailed a library system serving Enfield ..... and I received the the kind response below.

 

Dear Mr Lee,

Thank you for your enquiry concerning Robert Tucker of no.58, Southbury
Road, Enfield and the Penryn Boatbuilding Co.

No.58, Southbury Road is a small terraced house built in the early 20th
century. There is no way that even a small boat could have been built on
the premises. A directory of 1969 lists Robert Tucker as the householder at
this address. I can only assume that Tucker used his home as the registered
office of the company. The boats must have been manufactured elsewhere.
