The Exchange, Grade I listed building in Bristol, England
The Exchange stands on Corn Street with its Georgian Palladian architecture, featuring Corinthian columns and a semicircular-arched doorway with lion-head knockers.
Architect John Wood the Elder constructed the Exchange between 1741 and 1743 as a central location for corn and general trade transactions in Bristol.
The building houses four bronze tables called nails from the 16th and 17th centuries where merchants conducted their business transactions.
The Exchange currently functions as office spaces and contains St Nicholas Market, making it a central commercial location in Bristol's Old City.
The clock installed in 1822 displays both Greenwich Mean Time and Bristol local time, representing the early need for standardized timekeeping.
