The Black House, a local landmark, stands at the end of the spit, opposite Mudeford Quay and the entrance to Christchurch harbour. It is the site of the Battle of Mudeford in 1784. Built in 1848, it was once a boat-builders' house, but is now rented out to holidaymakers. Some suggest that the Black House – the only brick building on a spit occupied mostly by wooden structures – was constructed around this time. During the 1700s a new tax on the import of luxury goods led to an explosion in smuggling on the south coast.
