Cadw's description
Location
Situated by roadside at entry to Seaview (Youth Hostel).
Exterior
Circa 1900 store for coastguard lifesaving apparatus, including rockets for firing ropes to endangered ships. Rubble stone, partly rendered or roughcast. Slate roof and N end brick stack. Single storey on blind base, with big cambered-headed opening to road, stone voussoirs, double ledged doors with iron strap hinges. Sides are roughcast, each with one yellow brick framed window and iron bars.
Reason for designation
Included for historical interest, close to a rocky coastline with few harbours. Penrhyn Castle to N was the former coastguard station and Poppit Lifeboat House lies to SW.
