Exchange and library, now offices. 1825-9, by Lane. Ashlar
with slate roof.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with high entablature enriched with laurel
wreaths. 5-window range, the outer bays slightly advanced.
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.
