Bayfield Street near Meaford Museum

Meaford's Net Shed is a modest, weathered building on the west side of the harbour. Built in the late 1880s as a net-making, repair and storage building, it has now been repurposed as a popular venue for readers throughout the summer. For a single donation, you can browse and bring home a trove of used books. The owners have made good, and very generous, use of their historical property.
