The Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange is a Grade II listed building located on The Pavement, constructed in 1864 by Hutchinson. This two-storey structure features a double fronted facade with three windows and a central bay that projects with a pediment. It is built from gault brick, accented with red brick and stone dressings. The parapet is topped with urns, and there is a stone entablature with a bracketed dentil cornice. A plain stone band runs along the first floor level, accompanied by a cill string. The ground floor is rusticated brick, while the first floor has round-arched recessed windows adorned with stone archivolts and a keystone, along with a continuous string at the impost level. The ground floor windows are square-headed, architraved, and feature bracketed cornices. The round-arched doorway has rusticated stone jambs, a console-bracketted cornice, a fanlight, and a double panelled door. The Corn Exchange, along with Nos. 5 to 10 (consecutive) and No. 12, forms a group.
