About Wakefield - show info hide info

Wakefield lies in the county of West Yorkshire, by the River Calder. The town has a population (according to the 2001 census) of 79,885. The actual town of Wakefield forms a metropolitan borough, called the City of Wakefield. The name is said to derive from 'Wacca's Field' - the field belonging to Wacca, however it is more likely to be derived from the old english 'wacu', meaning 'a watch of wake', and 'feld' - a field in which a wake or watch was held. In the 1086 Domesday Book, Wakefield was listed as Wachefeld, and was dubbed 'the Merrie City' during the middle ages. During the Wars of the Roses, the Duke of York was defeated near the city in the Battle of Wakefield. The ruins of Sandal Castle can still be seen, in parklands near Pugney's Country Park, a popular walking area for locals. Wakefield has a higher-than-average amount of council housing, with almost 50% of homes council-rented. In 2004, when tenants voted to transfer the entire housing stock to a new registered social landlord (called Wakefield District Housing) it became the second largest stock transfer in British history. The city has a large range of cultural attractions, with a sculpture park, Sandle Castle, the National Coal Mining Museum for England, a museum and an art gallery. The city has two railway stations, Wakefield Westgate and Wakefield Kirkgate. Westgate is the main stations and sees services between Leeds or Bradford and London Kings Cross (operated by GNER) as well as Virgin Cross Country services between Scotland and the South coast. Additionally, a number of local services operate to destinations including Selby, Doncaster, Leeds and Sheffield. Wakefield Kirkgate sees many of the local services pass through, though sees some extra services to Knottingley and Leeds. Nearby towns to Wakefield include Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Ossett, Morley, Batley, Normanton, Castleford, Pontefract and Rothwell.
