Halifax, Woolshops. The Woolshops derives its name from its unique history within the town, where in medieval times the street was known for buying and selling wool from the nearby farmers, which was then sold to cottage weavers, to be later sold as pieces of cloth in the adjacent Piece Hall. Francis Parratt BENTLEY, Charles COCKCROFT, Thomas PEEL and Jonathan WAINWRIGHT all lived in Halifax at some point.
