View of Crown Street showing the Third White Cloth Hall. The Hall was built in 1775-6 and was originally a huge courtyard surrounded by five indoor 'streets' of 1213 stalls. Weavers gathered every Tuesday morning to sell their unfinished and undyed cloth to the merchants. This trade ceased here in 1864-65 when the new railway viaduct sliced through the hall. The Cupola was taken from the second Cloth Hall by William Johnson in 1786 and re-erected by the third Cloth Hall, Pizza Express now occupies part of the site. Cuban Heels cafe/bar/restaurant can be seen on right on Assembly Street. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Restaurant Crown Street White Cloth Hall Assembly Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
