The Wool Hall, Grade II listed building in Beckington, England.
The Wool Hall features a semi-circular archway entrance, an exterior staircase with rubble balustrade, and first-floor plank doors with decorative iron hinges.
Built in 1580 as a wool trading venue, the structure exemplifies the economic importance of textile commerce in Somerset during the sixteenth century.
The building gained recognition as a recording studio where Tears for Fears created 'Songs From The Big Chair' and The Smiths recorded their final album.
The Wool Hall maintains its protected status under UK preservation laws, requiring special permits for any structural modifications or renovations to the property.
Van Morrison stored his collection of analog master tapes in the building during his ownership period from 1994 to 2002.
