The Wool Hall in Bristol, England, is a historic building in St Thomas Street, constructed in 1830 to house the city's wool market.[1] It is one of the earlier works of Richard Shackleton Pope, and has been described as 'the first quasi-industrial building in Bristol to attempt a real architectural facade'.[2] The building now houses offices and a 400-capacity live music venue, appropriately named The Fleece.
It is an example of the Bristol Byzantine style and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.[2]
