Giant Ionic columns each side of central bay, and central entrance in moulded architrave with flat entablature (the doorway itself renewed). Windows are 15-pane sashes, with emblems (wreaths, serpents etc.) carved in panels above them. 3-window pedimented returns, with central entrance in right-hand gable. End wall stacks, partially concealed by pedimented gables. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORY: the building was originally designed to house the Exchange and a newsroom with the upper room used until 1847 as a 'Church and King' library, taken over as a library by Bolton Corporation in 1853. In 1871 the Exchange itself ceased operation and the Corporation took over the ground floor also as a library and museum of Natural History. The architect of these changes was Benjamin Hick. (Bolton Journal (Pictorial Bolton Series, LXXXIII): 1885-).
