| Title | Haselden Hall, Wakefield |
| Description | Haselden Hall, Wakefield. Large 14th century timber framed house re modelled in the 16th century.
Large 14th century timber framed house built in the form of a square with an inner courtyard. The hall was rebuilt or re modelled in the 16th century.
The centre portions of the east and west wings were demolished in 1851 when the rest of the house was cladded with brick. The house then remained as two separate buildings at right angles to northgate until 1959 when the southern wing was demolished in a road widening scheme. The north wing remained until 1967 when this too was demolished to make way for the junction of Marsh Way/Northgate in the early 1970s.
In 1976 the forecourt and maintenance area of Burdin's Garage (now Charlie Browns) stood on the site of the hall. The north wing was recorded and excavated in 1967 prior to and just after its demolition (Hurst, 1968, p.181). This excavation revealed the site of an iron smelting area sealed by floor deposits which containe developed cistercian wares (Hurst 1968, p.181) |
