---For a day trip out from home, i took two buses the 40 miles to Halifax, ..York to Leeds then to Halifax.-- Halifax is an ancient wool and textile town in West Yorkshire. on the river Calder. The wool trade gone , but
the Piece Hall still there. So time for a visit. Today it is a popular place for outside
events., and arts, and to meet people. -- -- Rich merchants built the Piece Hall in
1779, to house 300 merchants rooms for wholesale business. In 1971 it closed as unsuitable for
todays trade. -- The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded funding to restore the Piece Hall.It
reopened in August 2017, now hosts music events etc.
