HISTORY

This Fish Shed, situated at the commencement of the Hastings Jetty, was built in 1866. It played an important part in the local fishing industry. It was restored in 1988 and then became a retail fish sales venue. The restoration project was carried out by John Woolley, Doug Norton and Bill Patience. All work was voluntary.

DESCRIPTION
