Coloured Cloth Hall bell

21 May 2025

Also on display is the impressive bell which once hung in Leeds’s Coloured Cloth Hall in 1758. Once the largest building in Georgian Leeds, the building was used as offices and housed the Council Chamber of the Trustees. In 1889 the Leeds Corporation paid £66,000 for the hall to clear it and make way for what is today City Square and the General Post Office building.
