Tom Paine’s Hall
Clothiers were not allowed to use the cloth halls unless they had served a seven year term (later reduced to five years) of apprenticeship in the trade. Anyone wanting to sell cloth who had not served this term had to use a separate building, first in Meadow Lane, and then from 1792 on the ground floor of the Music Hall in Albion Street, which became known as ‘Tom Paine’s Hall.’
