  • Opened in 1779, Halifax Piece Hall was a centre of trade for the area, and has been a feature of the town ever since.
    It now stages outdoor concerts and has in the past had the likes of Tom Jones and in 2023 will have Sting, UB40, Rag 'n Bone Man, Madness, The Jacksons & Sister Sledge along with many more.

      It was run by a chap called lez
      And he was in a band called fez
      It was up on the balcony
      The good old days
      And I used to have a market stall in the main square before it was concrete.
      When I was a child it was a fish market and we went on school trips there from boothtown junior school.
      How things have changed

    If you visit Go into the library it's New in there and has been built around the large spire which now comes out through a glass roof. It's very cleaver how they have married old and new. It's worth going in just to see the original window.
    Search calderdale library opening there's a small photo. there's also the mystery hand prints outside the Westgate entrance
