Custom House, Grade II* listed Custom House in Poole, England.

The Georgian Custom House stands prominently on Poole Quay, featuring classical design elements with distinct stonework and an established facade.

Built in 1813 after a fire destroyed the original 1747 structure, this Custom House collected taxes from vessels entering Poole Harbour until 1883.

The Custom House presents summer Thursday events combining live music performances with the backdrop of Poole Quay fireworks displays.

Located near two parking facilities, the Custom House restaurant provides views across Poole Quay and Brownsea Island while serving seafood specialties.

In 1747, the Hawkhurst Gang executed a night raid, stealing two tons of tea and 39 barrels of rum valued at £500 from this location.
