This is the top floor of the new Castleford Forum Library and Museum, it may not look special yet but imagine….
A brave warrior being immortalised in a grand chariot burial
A roman soldier in full armour, making his way to Castleford
and missing the home cooking of Rome
The heat of a glass works – hot enough to melt the soles of
your shoes
The anguish of a community ripped apart by closing mines,
over time finding pride and strength in their town.
The roar of a crowd as Castleford beat Huddersfield 11 – 8
in the Rugby League Cup 1935
The great and good of Castleford in their fancy frocks
playing marbles on a ‘Reet Night aht’
These are some of the stories you will encounter at the new
Castleford Museum opening later this year; Imagine….
