Ypres Then and Now: The Cloth Hall

The Cloth Hall in the town of Ypres was the most iconic building in the war-ravaged town. The first shells struck the building in 1914, and over the next four years it was completely destroyed. Today it has been rebuilt, and stands as a symbol of hope that rose from the flames of the First World War. Join Mat McLachlan as he explores the Cloth Hall, and the adjacent St Martin's Cathedral in this exclusive video.
