Corn Exchanges were important buildings during the Victorian times. Merchants would come here to sell grains such as corn, wheat and barley, which were people's main food sources. By 1872 there were 160 different merchants selling their crops, from all over America and Europe. Today, Leeds corn exchange is one of only 3 in England that is still used to buy and sell items.
