1st White Cloth Hall

The 1st White Cloth Hall is a Grade II* listed building on Kirkgate, in the city centre of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England.

The Amusement Arcade in its eastern wing still operates but the rest of the building is getting close to state of collapse and is a health and safety hazard.

In March 2018, Leeds City Council granted Rushbond Group permission to restore the building.

[5] In 2019 Historic England commissioned dendrochronological (tree-ring) analysis on ex situ samples from 19 oak and one conifer timbers from the former west range of First White Cloth Hall.

This date is earlier than had been expected based on the opening of First White Cloth Hall in the early eighteenth century.
