Welcome to Custom House

Custom House Northumberland is a historic building located in the town of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The building was constructed in the early 19th century and was used as a customs house for the port of Newcastle.

The building has been restored and is now used as a venue for events and exhibitions.

The building is situated on the banks of the River Tyne and has a commanding view of the river and the surrounding area. The building is constructed of sandstone and has a classical design with a portico supported by six Ionic columns. The building has a central dome which is topped by a lantern and a weather vane. The interior of the building is equally impressive with a grand staircase and a series of ornate rooms.

Custom House Northumberland has played an important role in the history of Newcastle upon Tyne. The building was used as a customs house until the mid-20th century and was then used as a police station. The building was restored in the 1990s and is now used as a venue for events and exhibitions. The building is open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction in the town. The building is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Newcastle upon Tyne and is a must-see for anyone visiting the town.
