New Corn Exchange at Ipswich, [in Suffolk], 1850. 'The opening of this building was celebrated...by a public dinner, to which about one hundred of the gentry, tradesmen, and agriculturists of Ipswich and its neighbourhood sat down...The New Exchange is a neat edifice, with a handsome portico, surmounted by an appropriate emblematic figure. The whole has been erected from the designs of Mr. H. Woolnough, architect, of Ipswich; the builder being Mr. Ribbans. The building is about 77 feet by 66 feet inside, and has a central light 23 feet by 37 feet. The whole of the entire area is for the use of the merchants...The hall-keeper is a meritorious sergeant from one of her Majesty's foot regiments...The Exchange, we understand, will be opened from twelve to three o'clock'.
