2. This building is at the south-end of the harbourside in Stackpole Quay, opposite Stackpole Quay Boathouse and Stores [NPRN: 32956]. It is a ruined shell of a building, with the front wall of limestone rubble with quoins and door-jambs in dressed limestone. The rear wall is a battered (wider at the bottom than the top) revetment, or retaining wall, to the roadway behind. Formerly, the doorways were closed by large single-leaf gates. Comparison with other store-buildings suggests that the material stored (possibly lime from the nearby Kiln [NPRN: 40732] was tipped in through high-level doorway-chutes from the upper road, and then loaded onto carts through the front doors for transport to the quay for shipment. The building may date from the second half of the nineteenth century as it does not appear to be present on the OS 1st Edition 25" to the mile map of 1865, but is by the time of the 1908 revision.
