History of E Shed Markets
E Shed was constructed in 1929 as a cargo store on Victoria Quay for Fremantle Harbour, Western Australia's principal port. Built as part of the harbour's interwar port infrastructure to store goods unloaded from ships, it is a heritage-listed example of port shed architecture and illustrates Fremantle's maritime and trade history.
