The site of the Public Hall in the Cornmarket, 2004. The hall
was built originally in 1849 for use as a corn exchange but was abandoned
in favour of the corn exchange in Angel Street. It became a public
hall for more general uses by the 1890's and played host to such people
as Charles Dickens, Dvorak and Edward Elgar. It was demolished in
1966 to make way for the City Walls road development and a new car
park. However the toilets on the side of the building still remains
as a memento of the former building (right middle ground, behind the
Lloyds sign).
