Corn Exchange - Market Place
Erected in 1856 – the iron arches were cast by Wilder’s - it ran a weekly corn market. The building operated as a grain exchange until the First World War. It was occasionally used as a cinema, boxing arena, auction room and theatre after that. After the Second World War it was used as a food office, and also an unemployment office and for the Social Security Ministry. The derelict building was purchased by the Sinodun Players in 1975 and converted into a modern theatre and cinema.

Fish Street Foundry - 36 St Mary's Street and Mill Lane
This was the first of Wilder's foundries in Walingford. The building used to belong to the Corporation of Wallingford, and William Hilliard leased it from them, and then let it to Leonard Wilder. His son Richard Wilder later bought the property and then the area behind. The Maharajah's Well elephant and the roof trusses of the Corn Exchange were cast here. The foundry shop is now Louise Claire Millinery, while the forge is now a private house. The shop has a weather vane on the roof, and a street sign still bearing the Fish Street address.
