The Corn Exchange

Over in neighbouring Dalkeith today, visiting the bank. Weirdly, Musselburgh may still have four banks, but they have never had my bank!

Anyway, it gave me a chance to blip the Corn Exchange Building. 

The building is a Grade-A 19th Century Jacobean-style hall, which has undergone a full refurbishment to provide office, exhibition and museum space.

When it opened in 1854, the building was the largest corn exchange in Scotland. The former and future Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone, addressed a large audience there as part of his Midlothian Campaign, in November 1879 and the future Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, spoke there in November 1904.

I hope you have had a good day.
