Halifax Piece Hall, Georgian cloth trading hall in Halifax, England

The Piece Hall features a grand central courtyard spanning 66,000 square feet with Georgian columns and three levels of covered walkways.

Constructed in 1779, this grade I listed building served as the marketplace for handwoven woolen fabric pieces measuring 30 yards in length.

The building represents the final remaining example of northern cloth halls that defined Yorkshire's textile manufacturing heritage during the 18th century.

Visitors can explore over 40 independent shops, restaurants, and galleries spread across three floors surrounding the central square.

The courtyard transforms into an event space accommodating 7,500 people for markets, concerts, and exhibitions throughout the year.
