This building in Newark-on-Trent was not always what you see it as today - and the date carved into the facade tells you exactly when it was built.

The Roman numerals near the top read MDCCCXLVII, which translates as 1847. The Newark Corn Exchange was designed by Henry Duesbury in the Italianate style and officially opened in September 1848 at a cost of £7,100. A group of local businessmen had formed the Newark Corn Exchange Company specifically to commission a building worthy of the town's commercial ambitions.

In the 19th century, Newark was a major agricultural market town where grain and produce were traded across the region. This building was the centrepiece of that trade.

Have you ever taken the time to look up at the detail on this facade?
