Corn Exchange, Grade II listed corn exchange in Market Place, Alford, England.
The Corn Exchange is a red brick listed building with a symmetrical front having three sections, decorated with stone details and a central arched doorway. Inside it has a sprung floor holding up to 255 people, a licensed bar, and a kitchen area.
The building was constructed in 1857 by architect Henry Goddard as a marketplace for farm products. Over time it evolved into a multi-purpose cultural space, reflecting the area's agricultural past.
The building shifted from a farm trading center to a gathering place for the community. Today locals gather here for concerts, classes, and events that mark the rhythm of village life.
The venue sits on the central Market Place, making it easy to locate when exploring the town. Visitors should check in advance what events are scheduled, as the hall regularly hosts different activities throughout the week.
The building hosted silent films as far back as 1913, showing how it adapted to new forms of entertainment across the decades. This willingness to change with the times made it more than just a market building.
