Shopping was, for once, enjoyable in this architectural treasure where Tykes have shopped for 245 years
I rarely enjoy shopping it is most often a dreary and unsatisfying experience. The exception is shopping in independent shops with a purpose.
So I settled on Halifax's Piece Hall. This grade I-listed former cloth hall is home to more than 30 independent shops plus a bunch of bars and cafes in which to kick back after emptying your bank account. Those who remember the pre-renovation Piece Hall will remember it as somewhat grungy with a fairly low-end retail offering. That's all changed but it's still early days.
Mystical and Magical, which sells sci-fi, cult and occult models, was happy to oblige. Two Pop models, a Sally from the Nightmare and a Boba Fett did the job nicely. And at Brown Paper Packages I bought a Jellycat wolf and penguin for my nephew and cousin's daughter respectively. Each cuddly came in, you've guessed it, a brown paper bag. No plastic. Good.
