Ackton Hall Colliery wasn't far to the rear of this structure, & the swimming baths were close by too (just to the left)

I spent many unhappy Thursday afternoons at Lister baths in Featherstone as a kid during compulsory swimming (floundering in my case) lessons.

Woodhouse Junior School (that’s how l’d name it)
Wakefield Road
Normanton
Wakefield

Whilst looking for new office premises a few years ago, wife & business partner looked at this, during a previous ‘For Sale’
(owned by local Council at time)

They were thinking of buying it outright at the time
It had a few sitting tenants (one of whom we know), but needed quite extensive roof repairs (from memory)
The income from rent would have paid for repairs, & a bit over, as it would have been a cash purchase
However, they decided that the palaver of multiple tenants was too much, so ended up buying where they are now
