Local area guide
Skip hire in Castleford
Castleford is a town in West Yorkshire, sitting where the Rivers Aire and Calder meet around ten miles south-east of Leeds, with a population of around 45,000. It was the Roman settlement of Lagentium, established at the crossing of the Aire on the road between Doncaster and York, and the modern street pattern still reflects that crossing point. The town remained modest until the nineteenth century, when coal, glass and pottery transformed it into a substantial industrial centre.
Castleford's glass industry was internationally significant. Hemingfield and later the Castleford glassworks produced bottles and pressed glass in enormous quantities, and Castleford Pottery, established in 1790, gave its name to a distinctive white feldspathic stoneware collected worldwide. Coal dominated the surrounding area, with pits at Whitwood, Glasshoughton and Fryston employing thousands until the closures of the 1980s. Glasshoughton's colliery site is now the location of Xscape Yorkshire, with its indoor ski slope, and the Junction 32 outlet shopping centre.
The town has an exceptional sporting and artistic heritage for its size. Castleford Tigers are one of the most successful clubs in rugby league, and the town has produced a long line of internationals. Henry Moore, one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century, was born in Castleford in 1898, the son of a miner, and his early exposure to the Yorkshire landscape shaped his work throughout his life. Castleford also gave rise to the Castleford Project, a regeneration initiative documented by Channel 4, which produced the striking curved Castleford Bridge across the Aire, opened in 2008.
Castleford sits close to the M62 and A1(M), with Castleford station offering services to Leeds in around 20 minutes, Wakefield and York. The Aire and Calder Navigation runs through the town and remains a working waterway. Neighbouring communities include Pontefract, Normanton, Featherstone, Knottingley, Allerton Bywater and Glasshoughton, all within the Wakefield district.
Housing in Castleford is dominated by the industrial era, with dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces built for the pit, glass and pottery workforce across the town centre, Whitwood and Airedale, alongside interwar and post-war council estates, and substantial modern development on former colliery land at Glasshoughton and Airedale. Property is among the most affordable in West Yorkshire, which supports a very active buy-to-let and renovation market, and the town has been the focus of sustained regeneration since the pits closed, with new housing, retail and leisure on reclaimed industrial sites.
