Old Custom House Inn, Chester, Grade II listed pub in Chester, England
The Old Custom House Inn features timber framing on its upper section and sandstone elements on the ground floor, with carved bressumer between storeys.
Originally constructed in 1637 as two separate houses with undercrofts, the building transformed into an inn after the custom house opened across the street.
The structure represents the transformation of Chester's domestic architecture into commercial spaces, reflecting the city's evolution from medieval times to modern era.
Located at 69-71 Watergate Street, the pub opens Monday through Thursday 12:00-23:00, Friday and Saturday 12:00-00:00, and Sunday 12:00-22:30.
Between the storeys, a carved bressumer displays vine leaves, grapes, and initials T.W.A., while the interior maintains oak beams from 1642.
