Newark Corn Exchange, a really fine building more recently a bar and restaurant but now sadly standing idle and forlorn. Cropped iPhone picture so please don’t zoom in too far. Thanks.
An evening commute at the Exchange Place Station in Jersey City, New Jersey on the New Jersey Transit Light Rail.
It was nearly 3 o'clock in the morning when I arrived at this site with 25 other photographers on London 24. I had to wait until they'd all disappeared before I could get the shot I wanted. The guy sitting on the bench wearing his headphones sat there through the whole episode. Not once did he look up from his paper. It must have been a right good read or listen especially at that time in the morning!
The Royal Exchange in London was founded in the 16th century by the merchant Thomas Gresham to act as a centre of commerce for the City of London. The site was provided by the City of London Corporation and the Worshipful Company of Mercers, who still jointly own the freehold. It is trapezoidal in shape and is flanked by Cornhill and Threadneedle Street, which converge at Bank junction in the heart of the City. The design was inspired by a bourse Gresham had seen in Antwerp, Belgium, and was Britain's first specialist commercial building.
It has twice been destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt. The present building was designed by William Tite in the 1840s. The site was notably occupied by the Lloyd's insurance market for nearly 150 years. Today the Royal Exchange contains offices, luxury shops and restaurants.
Traditionally, the steps of the Royal Exchange is the place where Royal Proclamations (such as the dissolution of Parliament) are read out by either a herald or a crier.

Near Exchange sidings in Birmingham it was possible to see north over Saltley and Landor Street Junction.. The normally dismal scene is lifted by a sprinkling of snow as an unknown HST forms the 07.00 Plymouth to Newcastle and a class 45 waits to continue north with a tank train.

This year Monster High will be participating in the student Monster Exchange program and extending it's haunted hospitality to ghouls from all over the world. Of course, it wouldn't truly be an "exchange" if some of our ghouls weren't participating, too. That's why Draculaura is totes excited to haunt East where she'll be spending time away from Monster High in the city of Shibooya. New friends, new experiences and a new culture await, but will she miss the old too much to enjoy the new? Probably not, this is Draculaura, after all, and if she misses anything it's being able to share her stories and adventures with her friends.
"The Hamburg Coffee Exchange is situated in the historic Speicherstadt, Hamburgs biggest warehouse complex. After World War II, an Exchange Hall was built by Hamburg business enterprises in the midst of the coffee warehouses.
In 1887 the Coffee Exchange opened a futures market of international importance which, for a long time, succumbed to both World Wars and their consequences.
In 1956 the Coffee Exchange was reopened. Because, in the meantime, structures had changed in the coffee trade and the businesses of many players had moved away to other market venues, futures trading could not however be sustainably continued. While the Coffee Exchange does not exist as an institution today, the Coffee Exchange Hall with its unique atmosphere was used for events in the coffee industry."

"Die 1887 eröffnete Börse für Kaffee war der erste Hamburger Terminmarkt von internationaler Bedeutung. Bereits im 19. Jahrhundert hatte Hamburg einen großen Anteil am Gesamthandel mit Kaffee. Um diese Handelsposition auch nach Einführung von Terminmärkten in Le Havre und New York zu erhalten, wurde auf Betreiben des Vereins der am Caffeehandel betheiligten Firmen die Hamburger Kaffeebörse eingerichtet. Sie hatte ihren Sitz am Sandtorkai, inmitten der Kaffeespeicher, der damals entstandenen Speicherstadt im Freihafen. Nach der größten Blütezeit dieser Börse, ruhte der Terminhandel ab Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges bis zur Wiederaufnahme 1925. Im gleichen Jahr wurden an der Hamburger Börse auch Terminmärkte für Metall, Zucker und Kautschuk eröffnet. Der Terminhandel kam jedoch im Zweiten Weltkrieg erneut zum Erliegen. Die 1943 durch Bomben zerstörte Börse konnte 1950 im Speicherblock H wieder eröffnet werden, wenngleich der Terminmarkt bis zur ersten Notierung 1956 ruhte. Im gleichen Jahr wurde auch ein neuer Börsensaal fertiggestellt. Da sich zwischenzeitlich die Strukturen im Kaffeehandel geändert hatten und die Geschäfte vieler Akteure zu anderen Börsenplätzen abgewandert waren, konnte der Terminhandel jedoch nicht nachhaltig weitergeführt werden. Bereits in den 1960er Jahren kommen nur noch künstliche Notierungen zustande. Die Gründe liegen auch im abgeschlossenen Weltkaffeeabkommen (ab 1963) das bis in die 1980er Jahre bestehen bleibt."

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)
