Well,
if you're wondering why this grand Georgian building,
which is on quite a different scale than anything around
it, is called the Piece Hall, look no further than our
panoramic pictures. Zoom in to the galleries and spot
the rooms where weavers from all around the district
would bring their 'pieces' to sell them to the merchants.
But
the making of cloth moved into the factories and for
over a century the Piece Hall was used as a wholesale
market and over the years became very dilapidated. In
1976 the renovated building was re-opened to the public
wimall specialist shops on its galleries, an art gallery,
cafe and markets in the courtyard.
The
Piece Hall is also used for a variety of events throughout
the year - much use is made of the band stand.

Getting
there...
|
The
Piece Hall can be found in the very centre of Halifax
and the Wool Shops car park on the ring road is just a
few moments walk away.

|
The
Lowdown...
|
| The
Piece Hall is a favourite with film and TV crews and featured
in the film Brassed Off. |
