Halifax, the Piece Hall. Their website says "Dating from 1779, when it was built as a Cloth Hall for the trading of ‘pieces’ of cloth (a 30 yard length of woven woollen fabric produced on a handloom), The Piece Hall was the most ambitious and prestigious of its type and now stands in splendid isolation as the only remaining example. It is one of Britain’s most outstanding Georgian buildings." Francis Parratt BENTLEY, Charles COCKCROFT, Thomas PEEL and Jonathan WAINWRIGHT all lived in Halifax at some point.
