Pontefract, Market Place 1964

More about this scene

Cars begin to clog the roads, even in the sixties. Pontefract was a major coaching town, and many inns were established for this trade. On the right are the pillars to the Market Hall (1859), and the Buttercross can be seen on the right at the end of Market Place.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in 1962 and remember walking along this street with my mum and my brother in his pram. He was born in 1965. Many a happy memory I have of those days. We lived in Robson Close, Carlton, till we moved to Leeds. Also remembering my grandparents, God bless.
