Looking across Exchange Square towards the Corn Exchange building.

The Corn Exchange is a Grade II listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1282970 LinkExternal link ) which was built in two sections between 1897 and 1903 and originally operated as 'The Corn & Produce Exchange'. Even after trade had ceased and the building was used for an indoor market, it was still known as "The Corn Exchange".

After being heavily damaged by the IRA bomb in 1996, the Corn Exchange was renovated and rebranded as "the Triangle Shopping Centre" (because of its shape SJ8398 : The Triangle, Manchester). It has now reverted back to the name "Corn Exchange"
Exchange Square, Manchester

Exchange Square is a public space which was created after the IRA’s 1996 Manchester bombing. Today the square is a major shopping area including a branch of Selfridges, New Cathedral Street, The Triangle shopping Centre and an entrance to the Manchester Arndale, the most-visited shopping centre in the United Kingdom.

The square is served by Exchange Square Metrolink station on the Manchester Metrolink network. Construction on the new extension started in 2014 and the entire Second City Crossing scheme Link became operational in 2017.
