The old Cloth Hall on /end of Cloth Hall Street. Was it the second one or third?It is the cloth hall that half of was demolished to make way for the railway viaduct that cuts across where the rest would have once stood.

That's right Si, the Third Cloth Hall. The cupola is from the Second Cloth Hall.
