| Title | Castleford Cemetery |
| Description | Castleford Cemetery was opened in 1857 as the successor to the Castleford Parish Churchyard and was administered by the Castleford and Glasshoughton Joint Burial Board. An original lodge was demolished between 1857 85 and was replaced by another in the 'Upper Cemetery'. Due to the expanding population of Castleford in order to increase the capacity of the land, the board extended the area of the cemetery across Healdfield Road. There are two chapels in the original area that fell out of use during the 1970s and one has since been demolished. The cemetery is included in the Local Buildings List (2008) for Wakefield. |
