Corn Exchange, Grade II listed corn exchange in Market Place, Alford, England.

The red brick building features a symmetrical main frontage with three bays, decorated with stone dressings and a central segmentally headed doorway.

Built in 1857 by architect Henry Goddard for £1,400, the structure originally served as a trading venue for agricultural products during market days.

The venue transformed from an agricultural trading center to a community hall, hosting numerous events from silent films in 1913 to modern dance classes.

The hall contains a sprung floor that accommodates 255 people with close seating, along with a licensed bar, cafe area, and kitchen facilities.

In 2014, the Alford Corn Exchange and Community Group acquired the building, implementing substantial renovations while maintaining its Italianate architectural elements.
