What is recorded here

This commemorative plaque records: The Custom House. As ship movements concentrated ever further down river, ship brokers, chandlers, consulates and bonded warehouses became established in Lower Dock Street. H.M. Customs moved here from Skinner Street in 1858. Recorded plaque organisation: Newport Civic Society.

The Custom House in Newport served as a central administrative building for HM Customs from 1858, reflecting the area's importance in maritime trade and commerce during the Victorian era.
