Brief history of Piece Hall is as follows:

The Piece Hall was opened on 1st January 1779. It was built as a place for handloom weavers to sell their “pieces of cloth”, hence the name.

In 1928 the Piece Hall was officially recognised as an ancient monument but it was not until 1972
that the decision was made to restore the building. The hall was converted into shops - one of which is Occasions Florist and Event Dressers.

In Tasmania we have a florist in the most beautiful looking property. The florist is called Chloes in Hobart.
