According to a FaceBook post

That’s the remains of the Sailing Barge Westhall of Rochester Off. No. 127259 built by the London and Rochester Barge Co. for their own use in 1913. Converted into a motor barge in 1948 and finished trading in 1965. Laying for some years as a houseboat at Gillingham, Kent. Westhall arrived on the Deben around 1975 and was described to me “limping up the river” about a year or so later Westhall became tidal and was burnt leaving just the bottom.
