This green commemorative plaque records: Arnside Sailing Club only remaining building of the 18th century Inland Revenue customs complex serving the Kent Estuary port of Milnthorpe. The main buildings and the Coast Waiter's cottage, lay across the road. Customs presence ceased in the 1850s as the railway was built. Recorded plaque organisation: Arnside Parish Council.
The Inland Revenue customs complex at Milnthorpe served the Kent Estuary port in the 18th century until its operations ceased in the 1850s due to the expansion of railway transportation. Today, only the Arnside Sailing Club remains as a testament to this historical customs presence.
