Facade, Cornhill Corn Exchange, Castle Centre, Grade II listed building in Banbury, England

The Cornhill Corn Exchange facade features Corinthian pilasters supporting a portico beneath a substantial entablature, displaying classical architectural elements at the Castle Centre entrance.

The structure opened on September 3, 1857, alongside the Central Corn Exchange, creating a competitive environment that influenced commercial development in Victorian Banbury.

The building transformed from an agricultural trading venue to an entertainment center, now incorporating part of the Palace Cinema within its historical walls.

Located in the Market Place area of Castle Quay Shopping Centre, the facade marks the entrance to modern retail facilities with over 100 stores.

A stone plaque on the facade commemorates the 1974 establishment of the Castle Centre by Banbury Borough Council, connecting past and present commercial activities.

Location: Banbury
