| Title | Chantelaine, Lower Oxford Street |
| Description | Chantelaine, Lower Oxford Street, was built in the 1930s in the 'moderne' art deco style and stands in contrast with the red brick terracing of the neighbouring roads. It was constructed of concrete and painted white providing a distinctive appearance. It is of three bays, with a central bowed projection of three storeys providing the principle entrance at ground floor level. On the 1st floor a balcony projects from a tall doorway, while in the 2nd four large rectangular windows provide light into the storey. This central area is flanked by two 2 storey projections each with a single large paned window in both storeys.
The building is included in the Local Buildings List (2008) for Wakefield, and is regarded by Castleford and District Historical Society as an important heritage asset and was put forward by them as a local site nomination in 2011. |
