Corn Street

Corne Street is one of the central streets in the centre of Bristol. The buildings on this street were not destroyed during the heavy bombing of the Second World War in 1940-1941, many historical monuments have survived.

The building was built in 1741-43 at the intersection of Corn Street and Broad Street. There were trade deals with grain and other goods. Now part of this building is used as offices, and the other part is the St. Nicholas Market, which has been operating for 250 years. It is divided into three parts: “Covered Market”, “Glass Arcade” and “Change Row”. On the sidewalk in front of the exchange building there are four bronze stands with round countertops, called "nails" or nails. In the XVI - XVII centuries, merchants hit one of the stalls, when the deal was agreed and poured money on the table. Hence the expression "money per barrel"

Corn Street is also home to the old post office building, built in 1746, the Church of All Saints of the XII - XV centuries, as well as the Commercial premises of 1810, the Old House of the Municipal Council, built in 1824-27 and the Loyd Bank of West England and South Wales, built in 1854-58.
