Old Corn Exchange
High Street, Rochester, Kent ME1 1LX - England, UK

Map
Another of Rochester's buildings that has featured in the works of Charles Dickens, the Old Corn Exchange has an enormous "moon-faced" clock - as Dickens called it. The clock reaches out well into the street, drawing attention to the Corn Exchange's elegant façade. Built in 1706, the building was commissioned by the MP Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, and used a meat market and then a law court before becoming the corn market.
