Project Details

The Piece Hall in Halifax is a unique Grade I listed building dating back to 1779, originally built to support the trading of ‘pieces’ of cloth. Now transformed into a 21st Century town square, the open-air square is enclosed by a mix of independent bars, restaurants, shops and cafes. There is also an art gallery hosting visual art exhibitions.

The stunning Georgian Hall is home to one of Europe’s great public squares, and the monumental Grade I listed structure is the only surviving intact cloth hall in the UK and an iconic symbol of the important role played by Georgian Halifax at the booming centre of the world’s woollen trade.
