    This building, standing isolated on Holyhead's rugged coast, was once a gunpowder store. The explosives were used to aid nearby quarrying, the stone of which went into building the Holyhead breakwater. The store is a conspicuous sight due to its curved roof.

      A good little shelter to look out across the sea or to shelter from the wind.
