Image shows the refurbishment of a Grade II listed building on Boar Lane, now known as The Bourse, but formerly Victoria Buildings. The facade of this four storey, classically styled building has been preserved and dates from c1872. It occupies a corner site at the junction of Boar Lane and New Station Street and was designed to harmonise with the new entrance to the city station opened in 1873. The building was orignally occupied by a variety of businesses eg. shirt-maker, John Claybrough, R. Goodson, Mantle Warehouse and Lee Hardwick Solicitor. The building was renovated at a cost of £10 million for the Guardian Royal Exchange Group and opened in 1994. Behind the facade 35,000 sqft of new build offices were constructed and the scheme won an Architectural Award.
