About Pontefract - show infohide info

Pontefract (from the Latin for Broken Bridge) is a town in the county of West Yorkshire, England, near the A1 (or Great North Road), the M62 motorway, and Castleford. Pontefract Castle dates from Norman times, when it was known as Pomfret. It was destroyed in the English Civil War, but its ruins can still be visited. Richard II was killed there. Pomfret is mentioned in the Shakespeare play Richard III. Although Pontefract itself does not appear in the Domesday Book, an area of the town, known as Tanshelf, does. Pontefract has been a market town since, at least, the Middle Ages; and the main market days are Wednesday and Saturday, with a smaller market on Fridays. There is also a covered market, which is open all week, except Thursday afternoons and Sundays. Thursday afternoon is half-day closing in Pontefract. Pontefract's sandy soil makes it one of the few British places in which liquorice can be grown. The town has a liquorice sweet industry, including the famous Pontefract Cakes (liquorice sweets), but the plant is no longer grown there. There are two liquorice factories in the town: Haribo (formerly known as Dunhills) and Monkhill Confectionery (formerly known as Wilkinson's). Unusually for a town of its size, Pontefract has three railway stations: Pontefract Baghill, on the Dearne Valley Line, which connects York and Sheffield; and Pontefract Monkhill and Pontefract Tanshelf, which connect with Leeds and Wakefield. Pontefract is known for its nightlife, sporting one of the most concentrated numbers of Public Houses in the UK. Such venues as Kikos (formally known as Liberty Park and often the choice of pre-adults) and Big Fellas (formerly known as Fat Sams) are know for their 'down to Earth' clubbing. Nearby towns include Castleford, Wakefield, Knottingley, Normanton, Rothwell, Featherstone, Hatfield, Selby, Garforth and Dewsbury and Askern
