The major re-development of the Piece Hall is certainly
paying off. More recently, the Halifax Piece Hall has
gained valid publicity due to its impressive architecture
which has been promoted through major live concerts. A
series of global artists have been playing the venue for over
2 years and it is always a proud moment for Touchstone
to see the Congregational Church and it’s prominent
Rose window in the background.
The result was a sustainable and thermally efficient
solution allowing the historic building to be a stunning
centre piece for the newly modernised Piece Hall. The
whole project was approved by Historic England and
gained a coveted Heritage Green Plaque on its completion. Touchstone is immensely proud of playing a small
part in this fantastic project.
