Castleford, West Yorkshire | Town Centre Walk 2020

Join me for a walk around the town centre of Castleford, a place full of history and one of Yorkshire's most underrated towns. Dating back almost 2,000 years to the Roman era, Castleford has been through so much over its history, becoming a centre for glass, coal and clay production in the Industrial Revolution.

On our walk around Castleford town centre, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the Millennium Footbridge, The Glass Blower Pub, Christ Church, Carlton Street, Castleford Market Hall, the Old Market Hall, Carlton Lanes Shopping Centre, Tickle Cock Bridge, Castleford Picture House, Albion Place Picture House and All Saints' Church.

A special mention to the following sites which really helped me out in discovering and researching the fascinating history of Castleford:
