2nd White Cloth Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2nd White Cloth hall was a marketplace for the sale of undyed cloth in Holbeck, Leeds, England.

It was built south of the river on Meadow Lane in 1756 to replace the 1st White Cloth Hall of 1711. The 2nd cloth hall was much larger than its predecessor but it only served 20 years until the construction of the enormous 3rd White Cloth Hall.

The building was demolished in 1786, only 30 years after its construction. The only part of the building to survive was the cupola which was transferred to the 3rd White Cloth Hall.
