NOTES: A third of the City's buildings were destroyed by aerial attack between September 1940 and March 1945. The first Corn Exchange, open to the sky, was built in Mark Lane in 1747. It was partly rebuilt in 1827 and the New Exchange adjoining it was constructed in 1828. The old Exchange was again extended and roofed over in 1850 and William Barlow advised on the design of the iron rib roof. The two Exchanges were amalgamated in 1929 but suffered severe bomb damage in 1941. It was rebuilt on the site of the two former Exchanges and reopened in 1954. The Corn Exchange moved to the Baltic Exchange in 1987.

The series was entitled 'French Civic Architecture 1500-1802. A study of some of the notable buildings in Northern France erected during the early part of the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century.'

NOTES: The London Stock Exchange vacated this site in 2004 relocating to new premises in Paternoster Square. During the subsequent refurbishment of the tower, the pre-cast concrete facade was replaced with a glass curtain wall. It has since been known as 125 Old Broad Street.
