Opening of the New Corn Exchange, at Hull, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Opening of the New Corn Exchange, at Hull, 1856. The centre part [of the building] is the magnificent Exchange-hall, 160 feet long by 45 wide, whose roof of glass is supported by fifteen arches of wood and iron; and the entire absence of internal columns increases the grandeur of the effect...the interior of the Exchange hall has been painted by Mr. Wardale, and decorated for this occasion by Mr. Seaman. On entering by the great west door the effect was very pleasing, the interior of the roof being hung with three rows of flags and banners...On each of the side walls were bracket gas lights, with ground-glass shades, between and on each side of the fifteen pilasters and arches; while in the centre of the room, springing from each of the tables, was another double row of gas-lights'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
