The long front to Brunswick Street. Built 1953-59 to the designs of H. Hinchliffe Davies. The third corn exchange on the site, and "probably the most imaginative of Liverpool's early post-war office buildings" thought Pevsner. The podium housed a news room and trading floor. Built of Portland stone, with green faience panels under the windows. The main block has gently canted ends and stair windows corresponding with the half landings, "making a chequerboard pattern". Nowadays it provides straightforward serviced office space.
