Interior of the New Corn Exchange, Nottingham, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Interior of the New Corn Exchange, Nottingham, 1850....Nottingham has just received an important addition to its public buildings, by the erection of a Corn Exchange, from the design of Mr. T. C. Hine, architect, of that place.
The new edifice, which is very handsome and commodious, comprises an exchange hall, 77 feet by 55 feet; a spacious corridor or portico, a reading-room, and a manager's house. The roof, which is of novel construction, presents nearly one entire surface of glass. The exterior of the roof, which is accessible from the several rooms of the manager's house, is fitted up with a series of blinds, by means of which an uniform degree of light is secured throughout the year...To allow of the building being used for other purposes than a Corn Exchange, the large room is fitted up with handsome fire-places and gas brackets'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1850, showcases the breathtaking interior of the New Corn Exchange in Nottingham, England. Designed by local architect Thomas Chambers Hine, this architectural marvel was a significant addition to Nottingham's public buildings. The spacious exchange hall, measuring 77 feet by 55 feet, is surrounded by a corridor or portico, a reading room, and a manager's residence. The roof, a novel construction, boasts nearly one entire surface of glass, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the interior. The exterior of the roof, accessible from the manager's house, is fitted with a series of blinds to maintain a consistent light level throughout the year. The interior exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, with the large room adorned with elegant fireplaces and gas brackets, allowing for its use beyond corn exchange functions. The cast iron columns and glass panels reflect the Victorian era's industrial aesthetic, while the men in top hats and tailored clothing add a touch of fashion and finesse. This photograph, taken from the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and importance of commodity exchanges during the 19th century.
