The Corn Exchange

This is the Corn Exchange in Leeds. An amazing circular Victorian
building that was designed with a glass roof to enable the grain traders to have natural light
to assess the colour of the grain. It was derelict until 1990 and is about to have a major
facelift. Sadly the red doors and silver metalwork will disappear!

I'm pleased I got there just in time!

Beautiful captures, it is sad to see something like this disappear.

Very sad the red doors and metalwork will go away. They give the place such character! Cool shot.
