The Custom House in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England is a former government building, originally having housed the customs offices for trade handled at the Port of Barrow.[1] Constructed around 1870, it took over customs regulation from the Port of Lancaster in the 1880s.[2]

The four-storey Italianate style building stands on the corner of Abbey Road and Hindpool Road. The Custom House was granted Grade II listed building status in 1976 when it was a social club.[1] It has since been converted to contain a number of restaurants and leisure facilities, including LazerZone
