The Blandford Corn Exchange and the Shambles (The area behind the gates) replaced the former town hall which was destroyed by the Great Fire of Blandford in 1731. On a Thursday and a Saturday this area is home to small market which sadly, seems to be dying out.
This area also doubles up as a Cenotaph where the town remembers all those who have fallen. On and shortly after Remembrance Sunday, this area holds poppy wreathes from local organizations who place them after parading around the town on Remembrance Sunday.
