The History of Peterborough Corn Exchange

The Peterborough Corn Exchange was opened 1848 and demolished I the 1960s. I have found very little documentation on the exchange only a list of the 94 stands in the building in the 1920s with the names of firms on each stand. I am trying to find out what business each stand holder was in at that period. I have managed to list the type of occupation many stand holders were in, but not all. As far as I know there are no later lists of stand holders. This was a great part of our Agricultural History and should be recorded. If anyone could add to this list I would be very grateful. You can contact me through my website, http://www.rexslyinthefens.com/.
