The Corn Exchange – built in 1861



There is a little ghost story attached to this building which is just across the street from me.
Apparently this place has been through several incarnations. First it was a marketing hall but, at one time was a bar. The owner/publican was a nasty guy who tortured small children. He went broke because the locals protested with a boycott since he was discovered to be keeping a three year old locked in a cupboard. The man hanged himself in the room over the bar.
Nowadays the lights often flicker and a child has been heard crying while the publican’s ghost appears to try to nudge people away from the cupboard and the room where he commited suicide !!
