This
is a Heritage Lottery funded project
exploring the rich architectural and social history of Wood Street, Wakefield. In
2016 and 2017 Wakefield Council are delivering this project in partnership
with Wakefield Historical Society, Wakefield Civic Society and Leeds Beckett
University.
Wood
Street - the Heart of Wakefield, is an inter-generational project about how
people, buildings and events, on one street, helped to shape the Wakefield
District. The principal objective of the project is to uncover the rich
historical and heritage landscape of Wood Street and document the role this
area has played in the development and governance of what is now a small city. The
outputs from this work will potentially advise future considerations for this
area, and will also form part of a future bid for further HLF funding.
