It was built as a market place for ‘pieces’ of woollen and worsted cloth to be sold by the handloom weavers to merchants. The growth of the Factory System led to a decline in its original use, and in 1868 it was given to Halifax Corporation and used as a market. It is now a tourist attraction and used for the promotion of arts, crafts and entertainment.
