The New (Third) Coal Exchange was built on the corner of Lower Thames Street and St Mary-at-Hill and opened by Prince Albert on 30 October 1849. A four-storey building with a central 60 foot iron and glass rotunda, it preceded its more famous successor, the Great Exhibition building (Crystal Palace) by two years. In use for almost a century, it became redundant after the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1947 and was scheduled for demolition in the 1950s. Conservationists succeeded in having it listed as a Grade II building in 1958 but despite the protests of Nicholas Pevsner and John Betjeman among many others it was demolished in November 1962 as part of a ‘vital’ plan to widen Lower Thames Street. Its loss has been described as “one of the great conservationist horror stories”.

By the 1870s, it was in imminent danger of collapse and was removed and replaced by a monument - the Temple Bar Memorial - in 1880. The original Wren structure was reconstructed at Theobalds Park in Hertfordshire. In 2004, it was moved back to the City and now marks the entrance to Paternoster Square next to St Paul’s Cathedral.
