Wakefield Waterfront will soon be the place to visit in the town after a huge amount of money is spent on the development of the area which will include commercial and residential areas.
There are a variety of residential properties which will offer houses and apartments in to an area which was previously mainly covered with old commercial mills which were slowly decaying. There are listed buildings which will be transformed into wonderful apartments along side the modern new builds which are also shooting up all around the area.
Commercial development will play a major part of the regeneration of the area. These will include shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Bringing both residents, workers and visitors to the site should bring a vibrancy to Wakefield's waterfront which has just not existed in the past and it should be a very exciting place to visit.
The jewel in the crown of the development will be the Hepworth Gallery named after the famous modern sculptor who was born in Wakefield. The Hepworth will house quite a number of original pieces by the artist along with other major exhibitions and also areas for learning about art. There will be a new bridge built over the canal to take visitors right up to the gallery.
The whole development is right at the side of the Calder and Hebble navigation and so it is hoped that canal traffic will also play a part in the area. The side of the canal is covered by mills from the industrial era and these will be developed to bring them into the modern day.
There are a number of historic buildings in the area including a chantry chapel which dates back to the 14th century.
