St Ives Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange is a commercial building on The Payment in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, England. The structure, which is currently used as an events venue, is a Grade II listed building. History In the mid-19th century, a group of local businessmen formed a company known as the "St Ives Corn Exchange and Public Hall Company" to finance and commission a new corn exchange for the town. The building was designed by Robert Hutchinson of Huntingdon in the Italianate style, built in yellow brick with red brick and stone dressings and was completed in 1864. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto The Pavement. The central bay, which was slightly projected forward, featured a doorway with a fanlight, an archivolt and a keystone, flanked by banded pilasters and brackets supporting a cornice. The other bays on the ground floor were fenestrated with sash windows with architraves, window cills and bracketed cornices, while the first floor was fenestrated by round headed windows with archivolts and keystones. At roof level, there was an entablature, a dentil cornice and a parapet, as well as a pediment over the central bay. Internally, the principal room was the Charter Hall which could accommodate at least 500 farmers and merchants. The building was also used as an events venue from an early stage: regular functions included the Huntingdonshire Horticultural Show. However, the use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. After the building was acquired by St Ives Borough Council in 1947, the company which had originally financed and commissioned it was wound up in 1950. Following local government organisation in 1974, ownership of the building passed to St Ives Town Council, but after a survey identified structural problems with the building, the town council decided to close it in 2001. A campaign group, Action Corn Exchange, was formed to raise money for the restoration of the building in 2006. After the necessary money had been raised and the town council had agreed to carry out repairs, a new company, the Corn Exchange Community Interest Company, was formed to take over management of the building in December 2009. Following extensive refurbishment work in the first half of 2010, the building was officially re-opened by the mayor, David Hodge, on 24 June 2010. Since then the building has hosted numerous organisations including drama and dance groups, exercise classes, University of the Third Age meetings, cinema performances and comedy nights.

St Michael's Church, Cherry Burton

St Michael's Church is the parish church of Cherry Burton, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England. There was a church in Cherry Burton in the mediaeval period, described in 1848 as "a small ancient edifice with a square tower, [with] traces of Norman and early English architecture". It was repaired in 1842, but between 1852 and 1853 it was demolished and a new church in the Gothic revival style built. It was designed by Charles Vickers, and the construction was co-ordinated by Horace Jones. The building was grade II listed in 1968. The church is built of sandstone, with limestone dressings and slate roofs. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, a north aisle, a north porch, a chancel with a south vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a moulded plinth, buttresses, a northwest octagonal stair turret, a trefoil-headed window, a clock face, a string course, two-light pointed bell openings with hood moulds, a ball flower cornice, and an embattled parapet. Inside, there is a five-sided carved stone pulpit, and a circular font on an octagonal pier. The choir stalls were installed in 1891 and were designed by Temple Moore, and there are several stained glass windows designed by Charles Eamer Kempe.

Shire Hall, Durham

The Old Shire Hall, also known as the Hotel Indigo Durham, is a Grade II listed building in Old Elvet, Durham. The former municipal building was the headquarters of Durham County Council from 1898 to 1963 and has been a hotel since 2018. History In the 18th century the justices held the assizes in the Shire Hall (also known as the County House) beside Palace Green; they then moved to a new courthouse at the head of Old Elvet in 1811. Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it became necessary to find a meeting place for Durham County Council. County leaders decided that the courthouse was not suitable for the purpose and chose to procure county council offices nearby: the site they selected in Old Elvet had previously been occupied by a row of large residential properties. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the Lord Lieutenant of Durham, the Earl of Durham in April 1896. It was designed by Harry Barnes and Frederick Coates in the Baroque Revival style, built by David and John Rankin at a cost of £14,000 and was officially opened by Alderman Samuel Storey on 26 July 1898. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays in red terracotta facing onto Old Elvet with the end bays slightly projected forwards; the central section, which also slightly projected forwards, featured an arched doorway on the ground floor with a wrought-iron grill; there was a pair of round headed windows on the first floor and a tower with a copper-clad dome at roof level. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber. The interior is magnificently decorated using Burmantofts tiles. A new wing, banded in stone and brick, which added an extra three bays to the east of the main building, was completed in 1905. A memorial to county council staff who had died in the First and Second World Wars was unveiled by the Chairman of the County Council, Councillor Thomas Benfold, on 10 November 1948. Nikolaus Pevsner did not take a favourable view of the building in his 1953 Buildings of England volume, where he described the building as a "deplorable" building "with monumental intentions and disastrous effects" whose "cursedly imperishable red Victorian brick... is such crushing proof of technical proficiency and aesthetic dumbness". After the County Council moved to County Hall at Aykley Heads in October 1963, the Shire Hall served as the administrative headquarters of Durham University until September 2012 when the University moved to the Mountjoy site, in the Palatine Centre on Stockton Road. The Shire Hall then stood vacant until it was converted for use as a hotel by Brims of Sunderland to the plans of HL Architects: it re-opened as the Hotel Indigo in March 2018. References

The Liquorice Bush

The Liquorice Bush is a grade II listed public house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England. It is believed that the pub is the only one in Great Britain with this name. History The pub was built in the late 18th century as a house but was converted into a pub in the middle of the 19th century. The pub is located on Market Place in Pontefract town centre which is part of a conservation area, and is closest to Pontefract Baghill railway station. The building was grade II listed in 1975 as the Tankard Inn, and it is thought that the name of the venue changed during a renovation in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Between 2011 and 2018, it was one of many buildings in the conservation area that the council spent money on to improve and enhance the area and attract new business. An application to renovate the pub was submitted in August 2025 and the planning documents Wakefield Council described the building as having a "high architectural value." It is believed that the name Liquorice Bush is unique among British pub-names. The pub takes its name from Pontefract's association with the growing and production of liquorice. The pub featured on the BBC's One Show in 2008 alongside other areas and themes in Pontefract on the subject of liquorice.

Myrtle Grove, Bingley

Myrtle Grove, also known since 1926 as Bingley Town Hall, is a municipal building in Myrtle Park, Bingley, West Yorkshire, England. The building, which was the headquarters of Bingley Urban District Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The Myrtle Grove estate dates back to the mid-18th century when it consisted of a house known as "Spring Head", a farm and an old Quaker meeting-house. In 1767, Dr Johnson Atkinson purchased the estate, demolished the existing buildings and commissioned the current mansion which was designed in the Georgian style, built in ashlar stone and completed in around 1770. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing Myrtle Park; the central bay featured a doorway flanked by Doric order pilasters supporting an entablature and a pediment. There were sash windows in the other bays on the ground floor and in the bays on the first floor. The building, which also featured rusticated quoins and a high hip roof finished in Westmorland slate, was flanked by a stable block and by a coach house. Atkinson was one of the promotors of the Bradford Canal. He took on the name Johnson Atkinson Busfeild after receiving an inheritance from his wife's uncle, Thomas Busfeild, in 1772. The theologian, John Wesley, stayed at the house with him in April 1779 and referred to it as a "little paradise". The house was acquired by a Mr Birch in 1805 and then by General William Twiss in 1810. Twiss's son-in-law, Walker Ferrand, inherited the house in 1827. Following Ferrand's death, the house was put up for sale again and was acquired by a local mill-owner, Alfred Sharp, in 1874. Sharp was one of the town commissioners and having already been instrumental in founding the mechanics institute in York Street, he initiated a proposal on behalf of the town commissioners, in 1890, to take a lease on the mechanics institute, to establish a public library there and to convert the old reading room into a board room. After significant population growth, largely associated with the worsted yarn industry, the area became an urban district with the old mechanics institute as its town hall in 1895. After Sharp died in 1896, his wife lived at Myrtle Grove for a while, but in 1908, the new council decided to acquire the whole Myrtle Park estate for the town. The council progressively moved its staff into Myrtle Grove between 1923 and 1926, at which point the house became Bingley Town Hall. A council chamber, which was wood panelled, was installed in the building at that time. Myrtle Grove continued to serve as the headquarters of Bingley Urban District Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government after the enlarged Bradford Council was formed in 1974. It was subsequently used as offices for the delivery of local services by Bradford Council. See also Listed buildings in Bingley References
