The Coloured Cloth Hall was a significant center for the textile industry in the region, renowned for its vibrant and intricately designed cloth. In this photograph, taken in 1844, we see large bales of these colourful textiles neatly arranged in piles, surrounded by producers and customers engaged in negotiations.
