History

The Piazza Centre was built on the site of the Market Hall, which was demolished in 1970.[1]

A town regeneration plan published by Kirklees Council in June 2019 which proposed demolishing the Piazza Centre.[2]

In 2021, Huddersfield Art Gallery was temporarily relocated to the Piazza Centre to allow work to take place on the original building.[3] A campaign has since launched to oppose the demolition of the Piazza Centre, arguing that the spaces within it are beneficial to local arts communities.[4]
