IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Our new Branch Update<\/em> combines direct links to Branch events, listed chronologically, as well as Branch news.\u00a0 Members can plan CPD and networking months ahead, as well as reflect on events past, and maybe even find inspiration for low-cost training you\u2019d like to help deliver to colleagues, as an IHBC member or just for you own special interest.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We’ll develop and refine the service in spoons to members and use feedback, so please let Carla know what you think by emailing at support@ihbc.org.uk<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018You can also share this NewsBlog with any colleagues interested in heritage but unfortunate enough not to be members of the IHBC, in case they might gain from the hard work of our uniquely proactive Branch network.\u00a0 They might also be reminded that in many cases the free events are not necessarily free to non-members, and IHBC members usually get priority, so always be sure to check out the details with the lead Branch.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018So feel free to pass on this and future Branch Updates<\/em> to colleagues to help spread the IHBC\u2019s word and extend our networks.\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYorkshire Branch
\n<\/strong>Tour of Halifax Piece Hall
\n<\/strong>The Piece Hall, Blackledge, Halifax HX1 1RE<\/p>\n

The Piece Hall is one of Britain\u2019s most extraordinary buildings. Built in 1779 to trade \u2018pieces\u2019 of cloth, it is now the UK\u2019s sole surviving cloth hall and offers a unique window back into our past.<\/p>\n

Its near 250-year history has seen the building tale on many transformations \u2013 in Georgian times as a place for trading locally made \u2018Kersey\u2019 and other cloth, later as a gathering point for Victorian spectacles and political rallies. It then became a wholesale marker, before being transformed into a visitor attraction and, most recently, undergoing an extensive conservation programme.<\/p>\n

During your visit, we will take you on a journey spanning almost quarter of a millennium. You will meet characters from the past and hear fascinating stories about this truly incredible building.<\/p>\n
