Description

Wakefield's rich heritage is revealed in this fascinating book, which chronicles the city's proud past and its enduring appeal. From its medieval market days to its current status as a thriving cultural hub, Wakefield's story is one of resilience and regeneration. The city's history is marked by significant events and developments, including its transformation into the county town of West Yorkshire during the Industrial Revolution. Today, visitors can still see the legacy of this period in grand civic buildings and experience the city's vibrant cultural scene at the Hepworth Wakefield museum. Illustrated throughout with photographs, "Celebrating Wakefield" offers a fresh and positive perspective on the city's heritage, making it a valuable contribution to its history and a source of memories for those who have known it well.
