Local knowledge — Taxi Near Me in Pontefract
Pontefract is a market town in the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, dominated by the ruins of Pontefract Castle — one of the most historically significant castles in England, where Richard II was murdered in 1400 and where the last Royalist garrison in England held out during the Civil War. The town is also famous for Pontefract cakes — the distinctive round liquorice sweets that have been made in the town since the 18th century using liquorice grown in the local soil — and for Pontefract Racecourse, one of the most unusual flat racing tracks in Britain.

About Pontefract
- Pontefract Castle was the scene of one of the most dramatic events in English royal history — the murder of Richard II in 1400, almost certainly by starvation on the orders of Henry IV. The castle was later the last Royalist stronghold to fall in the English Civil War, holding out until 1649 after three separate sieges.
- Pontefract cakes — the small, round, black liquorice sweets stamped with an image of the castle — have been made in Pontefract since at least the 18th century. The town's soil and climate were uniquely suited to growing liquorice root, and at the industry's peak in the 19th century, Pontefract was producing millions of the sweets annually.
- Pontefract Racecourse is one of the most unusual flat racing tracks in Britain — a left-handed oval of just over two miles with a significant uphill finish. The course hosts racing from April to October and is one of the most popular venues in the North of England.
