The Corn Exchange in Leicester is a beautiful building, outside and inside. Since 2000 it is a Wetherspoon pub. The building itself was known as The Gainsborough, which was used as a law court with shops and dungeons. The dungeons had underground tunnels that led under the market area to The High Cross, which allowed the prisoners to be transported without being seen. Favorite drinks people must try are “Old Peculiar” & “Green Devil”.
