Clock Tower,The Corn Exchange,Melton Mowbray

Built in 1854 of an Italianate design, this red brick and stone corn exchange was a popular venue for dances and other events during the early 20th Century, especially with the "Hunting Crowd" which often included King George V's sons Edward Prince of Wales, the Duke of York (later King George VI) and the Duke of Gloucester. The central polygonal turret above the clock is made of wood and the 1st floor windows are notable for their round arched sashes. This remaining frontage is Grade II listed and is part of an important group with other buildings on the east side of Nottingham Street.
