Description
The Corn Exchange, built between 1875 and 1876 by Richard Reynolds Rowe, is a notable structure located on Wheeler Street. It was designed as part of a competition in 1869, judged by A. Waterhouse. The building features a successful design using grey gault brick, accented with red and blue brick dressings and tiled bands. The entrance front, which faces Wheeler Street, has three bays and an arched entrance that is set slightly forward. The building showcases Gothic detailing with a ten-bay frontage on Corn Exchange Street. Each bay includes a pointed arch recess containing a two-light window, with a rose window above, and three pointed arch windows above that. The roof is made of glass and cast iron. Inside, the Corn Exchange prominently features decorative elements made from local and industrial materials, including coloured bricks, cast iron, terracotta, encaustic tiles, and faience.
