Leeds Corn Exchange roof detail.
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].

Recent Liverpool interest on my site has prompted me to dig out these of Exchange Station. On 9/4/77 it was still operational as seen here. Closed 3 weeks later.
This is the old Corn Exchange in Chichester, West Sussex. It was built in 1832-33 after 70 of the most prominent corn merchants in the area each subscribed between £25 and £250 to finance the building. It was one of the first Corn Exchanges to be built in England and was equipped with extensive warehouses and stores at the rear.
In 1883 the managing committee decided to hire out parts of the building for use by the wider community. Then, in 1896, a certain Maggie Morton hired it for a travelling film show, and thus on Boxing Day that year it became the first place in the town to host a moving picture show, and it did so frequently until the 1920s (a BFI plaque on the building commemorates the event).
Today, the Corn Exchange is a shopping mall. While some people may sniff at that, at least the building is in use and its magnificent exterior preserved for future generations.

To quote the sentiment of Castle Fine Art, "A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires"
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.
The Royal Exchange in London was founded in the 16th century by the merchant Sir Thomas Gresham on the suggestion of his factor Richard Clough 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. It lies in the ward of Cornhill. The building's original design was inspired by a bourse Gresham had seen in Antwerp, the Antwerp bourse, and was Britain's first specialist commercial building.
It has twice been destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt. The present building was designed by Sir 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 a Courtyard Grand Cafe, Threadneedle Cocktail Bar, Sauterelle Restaurant, luxury shops, and offices. [Wikipedia]
