During the lifetime of the Liskeard and Caradon Railway, which was built to move mined ore's down to Moorswater, a number of goods sheds were built to serve the local villages with supplies. There were buildings at Sharptor,Tokenbury (For Pensilva),Polwrath and St. Cleer. Only the St. Cleer shed remains, the others having all been demolished. This historic building is now the subject of a planning application for houses, and is threatened with a similar fate. It deserves to be preserved as it is a unique example of a building of great cultural importance.
