Former Corn Exchange, Grade II listed building in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England.
The Former Corn Exchange is a dressed stone building in Berwick-upon-Tweed with a Welsh slate roof. The facade displays seven windows with rusticated detailing and a balustraded parapet crown.
The building was constructed in 1858 as a grain trading center and remained the economic heart of the market town for decades. In 1965 it was converted into a swimming pool facility, marking a complete shift in purpose.
The building displays Italian architectural influences typical of 19th-century trading houses. The visible cast-iron columns inside reflect the craftsmanship standards of that era.
The building stands on Sandgate Street in central Berwick-upon-Tweed near several other historical structures. The location makes it easy to explore alongside other heritage sites in the old town center.
Above the installed false ceiling in the former trading hall, original glazed panels from the 19th century remain hidden. These concealed original features tell of the grain building's initial interior design.
