About The Grainstore

The National Inventory rates The Grainstore Regional, one of 173 in Clonakilty. The Grainstore dates from 1820–1830. 139 other places on the record stand within 400 m.

Located at the former quayside of Clonakilty port, this building is an interesting reminder of the town's maritime heritage. The sea retreated due to silting in the port in the mid nineteenth century, land was subsequently reclaimed, and the sense of the importance of the sea to the town has been diminished.

Questions about The Grainstore

Is The Grainstore on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 20846040).

Can you visit The Grainstore?

Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.

When was The Grainstore built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1820–1830.

Is The Grainstore protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
