New Road (off the A638 Wakefield - Doncaster road)

Opened as a theatre, later becoming a nightclub (with attached cinema, red brick portion
Station Road (corner with Jessop Street)
Castleford

It’s been ruinous for a long time
The side doors were open, with joiners at work

Castleford Police Station, as was, is just out of shot, to my right
Another victim of 'centralisation', now Havertop (the main Wakefield area station) is about 4 miles out of town

New Road was on one of my regular circuits as a teenager but I never noticed that.

I’ve been past it several times on the bike, the bunker was, I think probably positioned to check fall out from a nuclear attack on both Ferrybridge & Eggborough power stations , as both are in full view from there, I did take a selfie from the bunker and sent it to SWMBO entitled “2 Cold War era relics”
