Castleford, The Bus Station c.1965

More about this scene
When the new bus station opened in May 1963 on the site of two former glass works, it was during a period of massive redevelopment in the town centre. One side was modernised, while Victorian Castleford remains on the right. Opposite the bus station was the 980-seat Theatre Royal (1873-1955), which was remodelled by Frank Matcham in 1913. Listed buildings remaining in the town are the Rising Sun inn (a former village institute built in 1905), and a nearby row of miners' cottages.
