1300 Years of Pontefract History

The walk will commence at the historic Buttercross and cover various aspects of Pontefract's history, including the country's first Parliamentary election using a secret ballot. The tour will also include a brief visit into the Town Hall in order to view the iconic 'Death of Nelson' frieze and highlight why it is located in the town.
Of course, this being Pontefract, liquorice isn't far away and the connection between liquorice and the secret ballot will be revealed!
