Leicester Corn Exchange, Grade II* listed building in Market Place, Leicester, England
The Leicester Corn Exchange features a neoclassical design with seven bays facing the Market Place and a prominent stone archway leading to a first-floor entrance.
Originally built in 1851 as a single-story market trading hall, the structure received an additional floor in 1855 to accommodate magistrate activities.
This former grain trading center transformed into a public establishment, representing the changing commercial patterns of Leicester through different economic periods.
The building now functions as a Wetherspoon pub, offering food and beverages daily from 8:00 AM until midnight, with extended hours on weekends.
A statue of John Manners, the 5th Duke of Rutland, sculpted by Edward Davis, stands outside the building since its inauguration in 1852.
