Store loft.

store nIn childhood this was a place of joy and curiosity. It means the top floor (second floor) of a store which might con- tain stored wood, fish, salt beef and other supplies on the first floor, and the top floor would be a carpenter's workshop used for making things with shavings on the floor and all kinds of carpenter tools around and pieces of wood which one could cut and chip as a boy likes to do. My grandfather had a store loft as did most of my uncles. They would make there:- window boxes and frames, boats (small boats) 10-15-20 feet long, and any handiwork they might wish to do.DNE-citUsed I and SupUsed I and Sup2Used IFISH STORE, store keeper, store loft; LOFT, STAGE ~, ~ keeper, ~ loft.Source listed in DNE as P 150-68
