The Corn Exchange




The Corn Exchange at Leeds.


The interior of the Corn Exchange.


The Corn Exchange now houses a mixture of small shops and cafes. The Travelling Man game store is located in this building.

I used to spend many happy afternoons here, conversing with Nabil, Simon and Andy (The Sandman). Nabil later went on to set up a business empire. I learned that he now owns a chain of Travelling Man stores throughout the UK! He used to have a tiny dingy shop at Headingley. How times have changed.

Hey been in there. :) My wife used to work in Leeds when she did her Nurse training when we were going out together,a long time ago now !


There used to be a Laserdisc/DVD Movie mag store near there under the railway bridge in a unit.

You visited Leeds quite a number of times then? How long ago was that?

I recall one under the bridge near the back of the Corn Exchange too. They sold posters and laserdiscs then.

I also remember a CD collectors' specialty shop housed in a building behind. Today, there is a hairdresser there.
