Commercial Rooms, Bristol, Grade II* listed building in Corn Street, Bristol, England.
The Commercial Rooms features classical architectural elements with prominent railings and a grand facade that marks its presence on Corn Street.
Architect Charles Busby completed this structure in 1810, establishing a dedicated space for merchants and commercial gatherings in the growing city of Bristol.
The building housed Bristol's first telegraph office in 1852, revolutionizing communication about ship arrivals and trade information for local merchants.
Currently operating as a Wetherspoons pub, the Commercial Rooms maintains its original wall boards displaying names of former presidents and club officials.
A preserved wind vane above the bar once helped merchants determine suitable conditions for ships navigating through the Avon Gorge.
