The Old Custom House

The Old Custom House is a building dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made over the years. It is two stories tall, with an attic that features dormers, one of which is decorated with bead and red and egg and tongue enrichment. The west side of the building showcases flint pebble work alternating with red brick headers, while the rest of the structure is mainly covered in stucco. The roof is made of pantiles.

A cast iron Royal Arms, which was formerly located above the yard entrance, is now positioned against the tile of the former Queen's Warehouse wing to the east. This area also includes a heavy door with an iron grilled square opening. Inside, there are two-panel doors, and an early 18th-century stone mantel is present. The building was first recorded in 1666 and is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' Diary, with additional historical information available up to its sale in 1927, which can be found in the Custom House Library in London.
