The Corn Exchange at Bourne dates from 1870 when the town had a thriving corn trade and dealers met there regularly to sell their grain. A public hall was included in the original design and has been the venue for varied events ever since including ice skating in 1876 and the first film shows were staged there in 1925 before the town had its own cinema. The pyramid style blue slate roof on the front façade in Abbey Road marks the last remains of the old building as a result of successive extensions, notably in 2013 when it became the town’s new Community Access Point.
