“The opening of the new Exchange at Bradford took place on Wednesday last. The site upon which this building baa been erected is exceedingly irregular, and presented many difficulties, being in the form of a triangle, with the narrower point towards the principal front.

This, however, has been successfully accomplished by the architects, Messrs. Lockwood and Mawaon, and the interior of the building gives no indication that any such difficulty existed.” [Continued below]
