About Fencing in Wakefield

Wakefield was the capital of Yorkshire's woollen industry for more than seven hundred years, an important weaving and dyeing centre by the thirteenth century thanks to its strategic position on the River Calder, later growing into a wealthy market town and key coal mining site during the Industrial Revolution. Wakefield Cathedral, with foundations possibly dating to the eleventh century, has the tallest spire in Yorkshire at 247 feet.

Types of Materials found in Wakefield

Wakefield sits on Coal Measures bedrock typical of West Yorkshire, historically worked extensively for coal. The River Calder creates areas of softer alluvial ground through the city, while higher ground away from the river tends to be firmer, generally suited to standard concreted fence post footings.
