Full Description

One of a group of three stores at Portormin Harbour. The store is depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map c.1872 and appears to have been extended some time during the late 19th or early 20th century. <1><2>

Only this two-storey extension now survives, with a later, single-storey addition to the north. Photographs of the building were submitted to the HER in June 2009 in connection with a planning application for change of use. <3>
