About Wakefield
Wakefield is a cathedral city in West Yorkshire, standing on the River Calder to the south–east of Leeds. Once known as the “Merrie City” and a thriving centre for the wool and grain trade, it grew wealthy on textiles and coal, and its handsome Chantry Chapel on the medieval bridge is one of only a handful of bridge chapels left in England. Today the city is best known culturally for The Hepworth Wakefield gallery and the nearby Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Modern Wakefield combines an affordable housing market with excellent connections — it sits on the East Coast and Midland main lines with fast trains to Leeds and London, and close to the M1 and M62. That accessibility, together with regeneration around the waterfront and city centre, keeps demand for house removals in Wakefield and man–with–a–van services strong throughout the year, from first–time flats near Westgate to family homes in Sandal and Horbury.
