Pontefract, People and Plaques: walk

Join Pontefract Civic Society on an exploration of the blue plaques in the town dedicated to people and hear the stories of why they are recognised.

It's the people that make Pontefract and the blue plaques celebrate some of the individuals that have made a contribution to the town over a 700 year period. People from all walks of life are commemorated; on more than a dozen blue plaques; from the most humble beginnings to individuals of great power and wealth. From creators and entrepreneurs, those renowned for their skills, the world famous round here to the nationally known.

Join us to find out more about these people, some are Pomfretians, some are not, but all have contributed to our town's history.
