This building was once home to Wm. Wright Ltd. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3583312, a speciality grocery store supplying food stuff to hundreds of fishing boats as well as local folk, for 90 years until it finally closed its doors in 2017. Prior to Wm. Wright Ltd. taking over the building, the site had housed the Highlander Hotel. After a massive renovation project, the premises reopened in its new guise in 2018.
