NOTES: Richard Grainger, the builder and developer of Newcastle's 'Grainger Town', built the Central Exchange intending it to be the corn market, but this went to another site so in 1839 he opened a colonnaded newsroom on what would have been the exchange floor. This space later became art gallery, concert hall and vaudeville theatre. Following a fire in 1901 that destroyed the interior the Central Arcade was opened within the Central Exchange Buildings.
