This blue commemorative plaque records: This building is the surviving part of the Tammy (Cloth) Hall, opened in 1777. In 1878 it became the borough's fire and police station, as the carvings show. Recorded plaque organisation: Wakefield Civic Society.
Tammy Hall served as a significant cloth hall for Wakefield's textile industry from its opening in 1777 until 1878 when it was repurposed to house the borough's fire and police station, reflecting the building’s adaptive reuse over time.
