Former Corn Exchange And Attached Railings, Grade II listed commercial building in Angel Street, Worcester, England

The red brick structure features five symmetrical bays with stone dressings and prominent Tuscan columns flanking the central round-headed doorway on Angel Street.

After the repeal of Corn Laws in 1846, Conservative farmers commissioned architect Henry Rowe to construct this Italianate building, completed in 1849 for £5,000.

The main hall measuring 70 feet by 60 feet served as a central marketplace where local farmers and merchants gathered to trade grains and agricultural products.

The building, purchased by Worcester City Council in 2021, remains vacant and awaits transformation into an arts center alongside the adjacent Scala Theatre.

Following its primary function as a grain trading venue, the building transformed into an auction room, boxing arena, carpet warehouse, and restaurant over different periods.
