My Friday people this week is Pat (who would only give his name) one of the construction workers trying to get the Piece Hall in Halifax completed for the grand reopening on 1st August 2017 (Yorkshire Day)
The Piece Hall is a Grade I listed building, it was built as a cloth hall for handloom weavers to sell the woollen cloth "pieces" they had produced, it opened on 1 January 1779, with 315 separate rooms arranged around a central open courtyard.
2016 the Piece Hall was closed while a multi million pound redevelopment takes place.
@jorlam Thank you for your interesting comments Jorlam, I asked Pat if I could take a shot of him working, I think this was his hard at it expression, I was part of a Halifax Photographic Society given special access by Calderdale Council to photograph the completed redevelopment, clearly more work in progress than completed:)
