GV II
Fish cellars now used as store for fishing industry. Probably late C19. Stone
rubble with corrugated iron and asbestos roofs with gable ends. Further ranges with
lean-to corrugated iron roofs to rear.
Several ranges of cellars, rectangular in plan running roughly parallel to the north
harbour wall. These cellars are single storied and have a series of timber double
doors. The harbour side has a series of single and double plank doors and originally
had a balcony which projected over the edge of the harbour wall.
Interior Much of floor cement screed in late C20. Timber flooring along side wall
of 1 range, possibly laid above drain. Salt cellar to rear with trap door in roof
for top loading.
Included for group value.
According to Jonathan Couch the first seine was established in Polperro in 1782 and
in 1783 the first export of pilchards was made. In the early C20 2 Italians known as
the Teglio Brothers settled in Polperro to export pilchards to Italy. They leased
the fish store directly below Pallace Court, later known as L'Teglio's Fish Cellar.
