Check my collection of photos on this subject plus here's some info on it
"William Norton owner of The Red Shed, Rye Harbour, East Sussex.
Mr Norton kindly let me have a look in. He said it was owned by his Uncle before him and it has always been known by the name "Uncle's Shed", first recorded history in a photograph was 1904. He said it has always been used by shrimp catchers but its original use is unknown. He paints it twice a year."

I was told that the shed was owned by a postman who could be part of the Norton family.
