Beachport Old Wool and Grain Store Museum
Built in 1879 as shipping house and warehouse, using local freestone with sawn Coraline limestone quoins. It measures 19 m (63 ft) wide and 32 m (105 ft) deep - the two-storey section fronting the street is 8m (27 ft) deep; the large warehouse section behind is 24 m (78 ft) deep. History
A railway line, connecting to the jetty, used to pass through the 4 m (12 ft) wide archway, through the front section, and into the warehouse behind, allowing trains to load and unload within. The building was owned by Goldsborough Mort Ltd until 1944.
