The Royal Exchange



The Royal Exchange was founded as the centre of commerce in the City during the reign of Elizabeth I, this is the third building to house it erected in the middle of the 19th century. Back when it started, stockbrokers were banned because of their bad manners! The inscription in the middle reads "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof"
