As you drive about Wakefield District you often see hoardings, bulldozers and sometimes cranes as well, as new houses, offices and warehouses go up. As well as adding changing views to the local skyline, these developments often bring up evidence of the past as well.

This exhibition will look at some of the new developments in Wakefield District over the last 10-15 years where archaeologists have found more out about the past during building work. Examples include Iron Age farms and field systems under new warehousing near the M62, a Castleford pottery flint mill recorded before new houses were built, a medieval castle site confirmed before flood prevention works on a golf course, and evidence of a smelly Wakefield trade in the Middle Ages underneath new studios for artists.
