The Piece Hall - 16 July 2015

The Piece Hall, Halifax viewed from Union Street with the spire of Square Church behind. The Piece Hall, opened on 1 January 1779, claims the title of the oldest remaining Cloth Hall in Britain. Both buildings in this view are part of a major redevelopment of Halifax's cultural centre with the spire of Square Church to be incorporated into the town's new Library and Archive.

The picture, although taken on a busy weekday, features my trademark lack of people. I rarely include these willingly in shots and will wait (fairly) patiently for several minutes, as I did on this occasion, to get the shot I want.
