The Grade II Listed Red Store was built in about 1870 as a storehouse for goods such as fertiliser and corn that were shipped up and down the River Lerryn until the early 20th Century. During the Second World War it was used to store salvage to help the war effort and in the 1950s the top floor was used as a youth club. The building fell into disuse and was purchased by the Parish Council in 2002 for renovation and refurbishment to provide a community facility comprising two craft workshops on the top floor and on the lower floor a flexible multi-use area.
