View looking down Pudding Lane (the alleyway behind the Corn Exchange, Market Place, St Albans). St Albans Corn Exchange was opened in 1857. It was built to replace the old open-sided Market House, which had previously stood on the same site. There had been complaints about this building for at least half a century before since its open sides allowed the rain in, spoiling farmers' sacks of grain. The cost of the new building, £1470, was raised by public subscription and the new building, designed by Coventry architect James Murray, was opened in September 1857 by the mayor of St Albans, John Lewis.
