The Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange, located at 49 The Pantiles, was built in 1746 and is an early 19th-century building. It stands three storeys tall and is covered in stucco, with the ground floor featuring a rusticated design. The building has a parapet that includes a solid panel in the center, flanked by cornucopias, and topped with a statue of a female figure holding a scythe and a sheaf of corn. There is a cornice above each floor, and the ground floor has three sash windows, although the glazing bars are missing. The entrance porch is supported by two fluted Doric columns and two plain pilasters, and there are cast iron spear railings enclosing the forecourt. The Corn Exchange is part of a group of buildings that includes Nos 45 to 61 (odd) and Nos 21 to 31a (odd).
