The Xscape West Yorkshire
Wakefield was always it seems thought of as the headquarters of the five towns district and was at one time very famous in the North for it’s great cattle market which ran right from the 1700’s until after the second world war in the city centre. There is evidence that Wakefield had a market dating right back to the 1200’s, Wakefield was selected as the home of all the major amenities in the area such as home to the prison, registry offices and the main schools until the surrounding villages were given their own amenities
