Corn Exchange, Grade II listed commercial building in Bury St Edmunds, England
The Corn Exchange features a neoclassical design with seven bays, Ionic columns, and a central portico displaying a bust of Queen Victoria.
The current structure, built in 1862 for £7,000, replaced two previous corn exchanges, with the first dating back to 1584 in the Market Cross.
The building's upper floor served as an events venue, hosting performances by notable bands including Slade in 1972 and The Clash in 1978.
Following a £1.4 million renovation in 2011, the Corn Exchange now operates as a Wetherspoons public house with preserved original architectural features.
The central entablature bears the inscription 'The Earth is the Lord's and the Fulness Thereof' above agricultural figures flanking Queen Victoria's bust.
