They were given a short tour of Grade I listed Georgian former cloth hall and introduced to owners of businesses now trading there.

The Prince’s itinerary also took him to another major restoration project when he visited businesses at Dean Clough Mills, Halifax.

The former Crossley Carpets site has been restored and returned to use with a range of businesses over three decades and is once again a thriving hive of activity.

The couple also surprised traders and shoppers in the Halifax Borough Market as they sampled the local produce and spoke to independent businesses.
