The Piece Hall

The Piece Hall is approximately 10 minutes walk from Halifax bus station, on a slope. Some entrances are cobbled but the surface has at least been worn smooth over time. Shops are located in a square around a central courtyard, which has steps and a ramp to compensate for the slope. The path encircling the courtyard on the shop fronts on the ground floor has a step up to it, except at the entrance to the hall, where it is levelled out. The path on other floors is level. Some shops have a step into them, but most just have a small ridge. Depending on the size of the unit, they may be tight to navigate around. There are multiple lifts, some of which are tighter to move around than others. There are decent disabled bathrooms but no changing space. Most staff are friendly.
