Leeds - Corn Exchange

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864

 

The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet

 

Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.

 

After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)
