Leeds Corn Exchange a very old building in Leeds city centre a circular design with a glass roof once used for trading corn and other farm products.Its now home to shops and cafes.
Nice day for a cheeky obligatory Corn Exchange shot.
-------------------------------------------
Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, this Grade I listed structure was completed in 1862 and opened on 28 July 1863.[citation needed] The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet, completed in 1811.[1] 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.[citation needed]
After closing, its condition deteriorated. Early proposals for regeneration included turning it into a concert hall similar to the Royal Albert Hall.
In 1985, Speciality Shops plc won the contract to re-develop the Corn Exchange as a shopping centre. The refurbishment designed by Alsop & Lyall restored it and added staircases to allow access to the balcony and basement levels. It opened for trade in 1990. Many other buildings have been restored in the area, now known as the Exchange Quarter.
As well as housing shops such as Ark Clothing, and Eva (jewellery), the Leeds Corn Exchange hosted exhibitions, events such as strut (fashion show) and music events. Most shops sold alternate merchandise and it became a well-known congregation point for alternative people.
In November 2007 it was revealed that the centre (which was being refurbished after being taken over by Zurich Financial Services) was to be converted into a food emporium. The plans brought protests from the independent traders, who were removed from the Corn Exchange, and their customers.
After the restoration the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. The 13,200-square-foot (1,230 m2) ground level was occupied by Piazza by Anthony until its sudden closure in June 2013.[2] The upper levels are home to a number of retailers (Wikipedia)

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, this Grade I listed structure was completed in 1862 and opened on 28 July 1863. The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet, completed in 1811. 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.
These two foals, both colts, were greeting each other nicely on the pasture and seemed to start a conversation which I sadly wasn't able to understand. The one on the left is younger and still has his baby coat which the one on the right has already shed.
The token exchange is completed at Salogra, Himachal Pradesh, India as KSR ZDM-3 704 passes with the 05:45 Kalka Junction to Shimla Mail Express 52451. The well-maintained station features potted plants, fire buckets and a splendid W&T Avery, Birmingham [1914] platform scales for parcels use, as required.

125 Old Broad Street, London EC2; under construction, circa 1968.
The tower was completed in 1970 and the rest of the complex in 1972, when it was officially opened by the Queen. The Stock Exchange relocated to Paternoster Square in 2004.
Scanned from a slide taken by my late father, Ian Telford. I think he was working nearby on Lothbury at the time.

The Corn exchange was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, and built between 1861 and 1863.[1] The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet, completed in 1811.[2] In the late 1980s Speciality Shops plc restored it and converted it into a retail facility.[3]
After a further restoration in 2007, the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. The 13,200-square-foot (1,230 m2) ground level was occupied by Piazza by Anthony until its sudden closure in June 2013.[4]
In 2017 the Corn Exchange was acquired by property company Rushbond.[5]
As of 2019 the Corn Exchange contains about 30 independent retailers and food outlets.[6] It is described as "one of only three remaining Corn Exchanges still functioning as a centre for trade in Britain", albeit no longer functioning as a corn exchange.[5].

The Hop Exchange is a Grade II listed building at No. 24 Southwark Street, London, in the Bankside area of the London Borough of Southwark. Opened in 1867 and designed by R.H. Moore it served as the centre for hop trading for the brewing industry.
A glass roof allowed business on the trading floor of the Great Hall to be conducted under natural light, but wartime bombing, fires, redevelopment and modernisation have left the Hop Exchange the only one still standing. However, a fire in 1920 led to the top two storeys being removed, and the Hop Exchange was then converted into offices.
Thank you for all the comments and faves. Appreciated.
