Corn Exchange, Chichester, Cinema and Grade II* listed building in East Street, Chichester, England.
The Corn Exchange in Chichester is a cinema and listed building with classical architecture located on East Street. Six fluted Doric columns frame the entrance and give the facade its distinctive character, while the interior now houses shops and entertainment spaces.
Built between 1832 and 1833 by architect George Draper, the building started as a market for agricultural goods. In 1922 it was converted into a cinema and served audiences for decades before changing to other uses.
This place served as a vital hub for agricultural trading and held central importance in the town's economic life for generations. The building's role shaped how people in Chichester saw commerce and community exchange.
The building is located at the intersection of East Street and Baffin's Lane and is easy to reach on foot. Today retail shops occupy the space, so visitors can admire the architecture from outside or pass by while shopping in the area.
The structure combines Greek Revival elements with cast iron columns, representing an early integration of industrial materials in classical design. This blend of traditional and modern building techniques was unusual for its time and made it a notable example of architectural innovation.
