The Corn Exchange
Newark-on-Trent's Corn Exchange in grand Italian Baroque style is by Henry Duesbury. It was opened on 27th September 1848 and was not only used as a corn market, held every Wednesday, but also for lectures, exhibitions and musical entertainments. It continued to be used for trade by the local farmers, millers and maltsters until 1978. The building's most recent use was to house a night club. Sadly, the present 'To Let' sign looks ominous on such a grand Grade II Listed Building which sits prominently on Castlegate. It appeared on a list of 'Forgotten Buildings of Britain' produced by The Guardian newspaper recently:- www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2018/jun/09/forg...
