The Custom House was built in 1856-7 and designed by Belfast architect Charles Lanyon. For hundreds of years, merchants would have arrived in Belfast with goods to trade, and had to register at the Custom House. The building has statues of Neptune, Mercury and Britannia, and winged figures representing Manufacture, Peace, Commerce and Industry. There’s also a statue of unicorn!
