Welcome to Chequerfield. This is a guide to the Chequerfield area.

$Pontefract Baghill, one of the town's 3 (yeah, count'em, three) rail stations, serving different lines and different connections to local towns. A little on the dilapidated side these days, quite close to the Chequerfield housing estate and Pontefract General Infirmary. Driving tests are run from the old station building, so you have the traditionally zipped-up atmosphere of a railway station waiting room combined with the adolescent hormones and late-teenaged angst of a roomful of aspiring learner drivers all racked with tension awaiting their 40 minutes of purgatory. Nice!$

$Dist:1.0km north<br/>This is the view from the Keep of Pontefract Castle, across the 2 chapels, mid-ground left & right, over to Ferrybridge Power Station. The castle - wonderful place - gorgeous park, lovely peace & quiet, surrounded by trees in the middle of the bustling town.$
