Not sure about a Trade Hall, but there was a Cloth Hall many years ago...

"The cloth made by the handlooms in the many dales farmhouses around Leeds was sold to the Leeds merchants for them to trade and sell. Since medieval times a cloth fair had been held on the Bridge over the Aire, but in the 1680s this site had become so congested that it was moved to Briggate. In 1711, largely through the influence of Ralph Thoresby, a cloth hall was built in Kirkgate and trade grew to such proportions that a new and larger hall was built near Mill Hill for the sale of coloured cloth. A white cloth hall was opened in the Calls in 1775 following closure of the Kirkgate site. Still the trade grew, to such an extent that the Cloth Hall was moved yet again, in the nineteenth century, to King Street. From these cloth halls, material was sold to distributors all over the country."
