The Piece Hall in Halifax.

"The Piece Hall was built in 1779 and is the last surviving cloth hall in Northern England. Over two hundred years ago, large pieces of woollen cloth (27 metres long!) would have been sold here. The cloth would have been produced by families in cottages dotted around Calderdale.
The Piece Hall is an incredible example of Georgian architecture and was built to show off the cloth industry in Halifax and compete with the other cloth halls in the North. The Piece Hall courtyard is bigger than a football pitch!
The Piece Hall has gone through many changes since it was first built – it has seen hot air balloon ascents, tightrope walkers and even been a wholesale market. Today it is a shopping destination for independent businesses, an event and arts venue as well as hosting many family, school and community groups to share more about the heritage of The Piece Hall."
