Near the water's edge in many outport communities, you will see colorful small buildings attached or next to wharfs. These sheds or "stores" were an integral part of the traditional fishery providing a convenient place to store fish and fishing nets and other gear.
While many such structures were allowed to become derelict and decay in the 1960s and 1970s, over the past 20 -25 years, they have become recognized as culturally significant and some communties like Change Islands and Tilting have gone to great lengths to rehabiliate and preserve these traditional small buildings.
