The Heritage Group is responsible for promoting an awareness and appreciation of our rich historic past and heritage through research, guided walks for annual events and visiting groups (not just civic societies), local history publications and blue plaques. A significant part of this work is Heritage Open Days each September, where we partner with other organisations, speakers and guides. We offer guided walks to other civic societies, U3A groups and others such as the West Yorkshire Lieutenancy and the The Yorkshire Society who are interested in Pontefract’s rich heritage.
