The front of the Corn Exchange building (opened in the 1800s, it is an old and grand building with two large windows at the front and a wooden door in the centre). Above the building there is a clear blue sky. There is a tree on the left with lots of green leaves and some hanging baskets are on a lamp post to the right of the building. The photo has been taken in the summertime.
On a wooden surface is a coffee in a white mug with a saucer. On top of the coffee is the Corn Exchange logo, dusted in chocolate. To the right is a slice of coffee cake on a white plate with a fork.
