Fish cellars later used as store for fishing industry, now a museum. 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 one 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 two 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. For Photograph taken inside the cellars see de Burlet, S Portrait of Polperro, 1977.
