History

Marine warehouse built over the E end of the sluice. It looks earlier C19 but is said to date from the late C18. It is not apparent in Norris's 1817 view of the harbour. It was used in the C19 as a store for imported wine, vinegar, oil, fruit and salt. Thomas Sleeman JP (1781-1855) is listed in the 1848 directory as local agent for Lloyds of London and as wine, spirit and general merchant in the High Street. He was twice mayor of Tenby. Now the Tenby Yacht Club.
