The larger brick building with stone quoins, formerly the Corn Exchange (now occupied by Jongleurs comedy club), was built in 1849-50 to the designs of Thomas Chambers Hine, and was "the building which established his late classical Anglo-Italian style". Grade II listed. The adjacent single-bay building (no. 8), originally the Artisan's Library (and the city's first public library in 1867), was built in 1854 by Robert C. Clarke. (At the time it was occupied by Fearless Fight Wear, selling equipment for martial arts enthusiasts.)
