Corn Exchange

In The Uncommercial Traveller, Dickens wrote how he had once supposed this to be ‘the finest clock in the world; whereas it now turned out to be as inexpressive, moon-faced, and weak a clock as ever I saw’. It now offers lavish wedding settings in either the Prince Hall or the Queens Hall. It still features the stylized clock which hangs out over the high street.

Although now a lavish wedding venue there is something out of place at the top of the stairs, an old Dewey Decimal library card set of desks. Very literary, this must hold a clue for me.
