CUSTOM LIGHT
The Customs House is a Grade II listed building located in the Mill Dam Conservation Area of South Shields, South Tyneside.
It first opened as a custom house in July 1864, built to facilitate the shipping industry at Shields Harbour.
It is built out of sandstone and decorated with Heworth stone dressings, arches and pediments.
After falling derelict in the 1970s, it was renovated in 1994 and is now an arts and entertainment venue, containing two theatres, art galleries, a restaurant and bar.
