Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Custom House, completed in 1767, occupies a prominent position in the centre of the Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne. Customs collections began in Newcastle in 1203; by 1604 a Custom House was recorded to the east of the Guildhall. The Custom House of 1767 was extended and refronted by Sydney Smirke in 1833, and expanded in the twentieth century to incorporate former brewery offices. It remained in use as a Custom House until 1998, and was acquired and renovated by Trinity Chambers in 2003. This article draws upon documentary sources to reconstruct the history of the Customs collection in Newcastle from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries, and the ownership of the Custom House site from the fifteenth century to the present day. This evidence highlights the involvement of Tynemouth Priory in medieval land reclamation, possibly a tactic in its legal dispute with Newcastle authorities over port locations on the Tyne, and identifies the architect William Newton (1730–98) as the designer of the new Custom House of 1767. | |||||||||||
