At the Wakefield Civic Society Awards evening held at Wakefield Town Hall on 10th April, Society President Kevin Trickett MBE announced that the Society’s Dining Club members had voted Tết Restaurant in Cross Square as their ‘Restaurant of the Year’ in 2024.
Mr Trickett explained that the Society had started its monthly Dining Club in 2010. Each month, members of the Club, who are members of the Society, visit a different restaurant and then, at the end of the meal, score their experience of the evening. At the end of the year, scores are totalled up and the ‘Restaurant of the Year’ Award is presented to the establishment achieving the highest score. Typically, between 25 and 35 members turn out each month with members paying their own way on the night.
Mr Trickett added:
“Our monthly Dining Club outings are always popular and well-supported. They provide a relaxing way for members to meet up and have an enjoyable social evening together. And we know that our award, which recognises good service and great food, is much appreciated by the restaurants who have received one over the years. We have visited Tết in previous years and the restaurant has always scored highly but, in 2024, it just pipped the competition to carry off the award.”
The award was presented to Tết employees Alice and Ryan who were representing the owner, Linh Hoai Le Thi (who was watching the presentation from the restaurant on-line on the night).

Wakefield Civic Society announced prestigious Design Awards at their Annual General Meeting held at Wakefield Town Hall on Thursday evening, 10th April.
Although the number of nominations received for Wakefield Civic Society’s Annual Design Awards was somewhat lower than in recent years, there were, nonetheless, some interesting projects showing the range and breadth of development taking place in and around the city.

In the new build category, two projects were recognised with awards. A private house at Station Lane, Walton, developed by Steven Mungofa to a design by Paul Ibberson of Cadvis3d Architectural Design, won one of two awards. The judging panel liked the way the new property made good use of a small corner plot but, as importantly, the way in which the building’s façade had been enlivened with a differentiating choice of materials.

The second Design Award in the new build category was awarded to City and Provincial Properties for their new Gradient Mill building at Tileyard North designed by Hawkins Brown Architects. This building replaces an older one that was beyond economic repair and forms part of the redevelopment of the Rutland Mills complex. Over five floors, it provides a modern interpretation of a traditional mill building in terms of layout, design and massing. It has been very neatly executed and provides ideal facilities over five floors for businesses, including hospitality venues, and creative industries adjacent to Wakefield’s burgeoning waterfront.
In the refurbishment category, there were two commendations and two awards.
The first of the commendations went to Wakefield Grammar School Foundation for their refurbishment of the Caleb Crowther Almshouses on George Street (pictured left). Part of the refurbishment work had been to replace the windows and frames. That it was hard to spot the work had been carried out when comparing before and after photographs showed that care had been taken in the detail: it would have been so easy to spoil the aesthetic appeal of the building by choosing inappropriate replacements.
The second commendation was presented to Rushbond for their refurbishment of the Camellia House in the grounds of Bretton Hall (see photo right). Originally built in 1817, the Camellia House had been sympathetically restored to bring it back to its former grandeur.
The awards in this category went to Yorkshire Dental Suite and Wakefield Exchange.
Yorkshire Dental Suite had taken over the former Alfred Moodies public house at 12 Westgate, Wakefield and converted it to a modern dental surgery. Again, the refurbishment had been done sympathetically giving the Westgate façade a lift while retaining the look of the original building. The design was by Benchmark Designs.
Wakefield Council received the award for the conversion of the former market hall into a new events space for the city centre, Wakefield Exchange. With design by Arcadis, the building had been adapted to include food and beverage stalls and a new mezzanine level with conference rooms. In addition, and to make the events space work for a variety of different events and activities, the roof had been screened and acoustic tiles introduced to create a space where both light and sound can be controlled.
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Wakefield Civic Society president Kevin Trickett said “Each year, the Society invites nominations from members and the general public as well as from developers and property owners. While the overall number of nominations had dropped when compared to previous years, there were still enough nominations for the judges to have quite a lively debate!
“A number of shop fronts and cafés, bars and restaurants had also been put forward. While these were considered, and some of them did gain the judges’ appreciation and made a positive contribution to the street scene, it was felt that they did not quite meet the high standard of design that the judges hoped to see.”
The awards and commendations were handed over to the recipients by the Mayor of Wakefield, Councillor Darren Byford, on behalf of the Society. Speaking at the conclusion of the event, the Mayor congratulated the recipients and also praised the work of the Society which had just celebrated its 60th anniversary.
Wakefield Civic Society is calling for nominations for its annual Design and Environment Awards. The deadline for nominations is 5pm on Friday, 7th February 2025.
On Tuesday, 12th November, Wakefield Civic Society unveiled its latest blue plaque.
The new plaque commemorates the life and achievements of Mabel Lucy Matthews (nee Hanlon), who was born on 25th May 1879 in the family home at Elm Street, College Grove, Wakefield.
The plaque was unveiled at an event organised by Wakefield Historical Society at the West Yorkshire History Centre where guest speakers Professor Graeme Gooday and Dr Katie Carpenter, both from the University of Leeds, shared their research into Matthews’ achievements and the history of the UK’s Electrical Association for Women, which was founded in November 1924 having been proposed initially by Matthews.
Mabel Lucy Matthews, nee Hanlon, started life in Wakefield before moving with her family to Cheshire. In 1901, she married Richard Matthews but was widowed in 1909. During World War I, she worked for a paper maker’s engineering company.
In the 1920s, Matthews worked in the electrical department of the Consolidated Pneumatic Tool Company Ltd and became an expert on electric drills. In 1922, she delivered a lecture on electric drills to the Women’s Engineering Society, of which she was an associate member. She went on to become Managing Director of the company at a time when it was unusual for women to be employed in engineering jobs as many companies had looked to employ men returning from the war during the 1920s.
Matthews had recognised the importance of domestic electricity and how it would transform the lives of women in the home. She also realised that householders, and particularly women, would need to be informed and reassured about the safety of domestic electricity supply and the electrical appliances.
Matthews suggested the creation of an electrical association for women to the Institution of Electrical Engineers. As well as promoting the use of domestic electricity, the proposed association would also help to create jobs for women across the industry. However, the suggestion was rejected.
A similar suggestion made to the Women’s Engineering Society proved more fruitful and, on 12th November 1924, an initial meeting of what would become the Electrical Association for Women (EAW), was held in London. The meeting was attended by many women’s organisations, including the Girl Guides, the National Union of Teachers and the Headmistresses’ Association. The EAW set up branches around the country – with a Leeds and West Riding branch being formed in 1928 and a Wakefield branch in 1953.
Matthews died in 1970.
The unveiling event marked, to the day, the centenary of the founding of the UK’s Electrical Association for Women (EAW) on 12th November 1924 and is part of a wider celebration of women’s roles in energy: Electric Dreams – a Festival of Womanpower.
Professor Gooday and Dr Carpenter commented “The Electrical Association for Women and its parent organisation, the Women’s Engineering Society were incredibly important for supporting women’s work in electrical engineering from the interwar period. This was a vital time for developing women’s rights and employment opportunities after some women received the vote for the first time in 1918. We are delighted that Mabel Matthews’ role in establishing this ground-breaking organisation is being recognised with this blue plaque”.
Kevin Trickett, President of Wakefield Civic Society, said “We were delighted to receive a nomination to erect a blue plaque to Mabel Lucy Matthews. Women are underrepresented in blue plaques nationally yet have played such an important part in shaping society, taking on increasingly prominent roles, particularly from the late 19th and early 20th century onwards, and we hope to receive more nominations in the future. However, receiving a nomination is one thing – finding the funds to cover the cost of the plaque and gaining permission to erect the plaque on a suitable building are also key parts of the process. I am grateful to Dr Phil Judkins, Secretary of Wakefield Historical Society and also a member of Wakefield Civic Society, for making a generous donation to cover the cost of this plaque. The plaque will be erected on Lightwaves Leisure and Community Centre on York Street, which overlooks the site where the houses on Elm Street used to stand. I would like to thank the Lightwaves trustees for giving permission for the plaque to go on their building.”
Dr Judkins added “Despite many advances, women today still have not complete equality. Imagine the challenges a century ago when Mabel was born in modest circumstances here in Wakefield! Through work and determination, she succeeded in the man’s world of engineering and helped make home and workplaces both safer and more equal for all – a magnificent legacy!”

At the Annual General Meeting held at Wakefield Town Hall on the evening of 18th April 2024, the Society announced its annual awards.
Restaurant of the Year Award 2023
The first of the awards to be announced was our Restaurant of the Year Award as voted for by members of our monthly Dining Club. Each month, members meet at a different restaurant in Wakefield and score their experience. At the end of the year, we look at the scores given by members and make our Restaurant of the Year Award.
In 2023, after being paused for over two years because of Covid, Dining Club members met on twelve occassions. The establishment scoring the highest overall mark was Jose’s Tapas Restaurant, Cross Street, Wakefield, which members visited last June.

Design Awards 2024
Projects to refurbish and repurpose heritage buildings scored highly in the Society’s Design Awards, with work undertaken on the buildings in the Westgate Heritage Action Zone featuring strongly.
The awards, adjudicated on by a panel of judges selected from the Society’s membership, were presented to recipients on behalf of the Society by the Mayor of Wakefield, Councillor Josie Pritchard and were for projects completed, or subtantially completed, during 2023.
Design Awards Results:
In the new-build category, a commendation was given for the new stadium at Wakefield Trinity’s Belle Vue ground (pictured below). The stadium, designed by architects AFL, provides space for 2,500 fans and is part of a wider upgrade of the facilities at Belle Vue. This was the only completely new build project recognised in this year’s awards.
In the Refurbishment category, one Commendation and three Awards were made. The Commendation was given to Harry’s Pizza Bar at 70 Westgate (below). This building, on the corner of Cheapside and dating from around 1800, has undergone extensive refurbishment under the Heritage Action Zone project – a £4M project co-funded by Wakefield Council and Historic England to provide grants of up to 90% to property owners within the Zone. The project saw work being done to the pointing, guttering cornice and roof but, most noticeably, the reinstatement of a new shopfront on the ground floor, significantly enhancing the appearance of the building. Conservation Architect Britt Harwood from Inc.Architecture received the commendation on behalf of the owners.
A second Commendation was given for The Courtyard, 225 Denby Dale Road where a suite of managed offices and meeting rooms has been created from a former mill, once home to Star Knitwear. The building had stood empty for a decade and was in a state of dereliction but the new owners, Madison Properties, have repurposed the building by creating affordable office and co-working spaces for small businesses under the HQ brand.
A Design Award in this category was given to J. D. Wetherspoons for their project to extend their Six Chimneys pub at 41-43 Kirkgate into the former New Dolphin Inn (later known as the Wakefield Pride and the Wakey Tavern). Under a project that had seen the Six Chimneys being closed for five months, the two buildings had brought together into one enlarged pub, unified by a decorative scheme that runs across the properties both inside and out. In addition, a large beer garden has been created in the yard at the rear. The judges were impressed with the quality of execution and also the focus on local history with many illustrations featuring stories of Wakefield’s history on display inside while architectural detailing on the exterior of the New Dolphin building that was previously hidden by signage had been revealed.
A second Design Award was given to the first phase of Tileyard North, the project to convert the former Rutland Mills project on the waterfront into a space for music, media and creative industries. Members of the Society had been shown around the project earlier in the year and liked the imaginative way that the internal spaces had been repurposed and the creation of a central outdoor courtyard that is already being used for events. The project, by City and Provincial Properties brings new life to the waterfront area adjacent to The Hepworth Wakefield, and features a restaurant and bar in the first phase. A second phase is now under construction.
The final Award in this category was made for the refurbishment work undertaken on 6-8 Silver Street. Speaking at the Awards presentation, Society president Kevin Trickett said that this building, above all others, had really become the star of the Westgate Heritage Action Zone project – it was the one that everyone wanted to photograph. Dating from at least 1590, the work on the building has revealed original timbers dating back to the Tudor period and, with the removal of cement rendering, now looks much closer to how it might have looked when first built. Britt Harwood joined the owner Gill Stockham and family to receive the award from the Mayor.
In the best shop front category, another Westgate Heritage Action Zone property was recognised with a Commendation. This went to Hofmann’s, 111-113 Westgate. Although the building, like others on the street, had other work done as part of a larger refurbishment project, the judges particularly like the attention paid to the shop front and the colour and signage scheme selected. The Conservation Architects for this project were Archiecture 1B.
In the category for the best frontage on a Public House, Café/Bar or Restaurant, the judges gave a commendation to After Dark, 65 Westgate. This property had had its grey paint removed to reveal original stonework, and new windows and doors, including the opening up of two doors in the frontage that had previously been converted to windows. Although the project included further work to the rear of the property, in this category, the judges felt that the marked improvement in the façade of the building merited recognition. The Conservation Architect was, once again, Britt Harwood of Inc.Architecture.
The final category, Best Residential (6 units or more) also saw a refurbishment project being recognised with a commendation. This went to Crown Gardens on Batley Road, a development of six new homes, four of which are new build while the remaining two were created from the conversion of the former Crown Public House. Built in the 1930s, the building was last used as a pub some five years ago. While the judges felt it would have been nice to have seen the pub use retained, the reality is that many pubs around the country have been lost in recent years as a result of changing lifestyles and the prevailing economic situation. It is important that redundant buildings are brought back into use as quickly as possible to prevent them deteriorating. Here, the pub has been divided into two 4-bedroomed houses while new family homes have additionally been provided by making use of the former car park and grounds. The architect was John Grainger of JG D Architecture and Design.
The judging panel members, all members of Wakefield Civic Society, were:
Angie de Courcy Bower
Roger Brown
Barry Goodchild
Joanne Harrison
Lucy Norton
Graham Roberts
One final award was made at the discretion of the President. This was a Certificate of Recognition presented to Paul Gwilliam, Wakefield Council’s Project Manager for the Heritage Action Zone project. Mr Trickett said that he had worked closely with Paul during the project and had seen at firsthand how hard Paul had worked to persuade property owners to take part in the scheme and then guide them through the process.
Closing the ceremony, the Mayor congratulated the winners and thanked the Society for hosting the evening.

Wakefield Civic Society recently hosted a national gathering of civic society representatives from across the country on behalf of Civic Voice and YHACS.
Civic Voice is the national body for the civic society movement and accepted our offer to host the 2024 Spring Convention here in Wakefield – the first time we had hosted this national get-together of civic societies since 2017. The event was also arranged as part of the annual programme for YHACS, the Yorkshire and Humber Association of Civic Societies. Wakefield Civic Society is a member of both Civic Voice and YHACS.
The event was held over two days – Friday and Saturday, 12th and 13th April, and began with guided walk around the Westgate Heritage Action Zone on the Friday afternoon. Around 30 people took part – members of Wakefield Civic Society and members of other societies from around the country.
On Friday evening, over 50 people enjoyed dinner at Create Cafe. The evening began with a welcome from Wakefield Civic Society President Kevin Trickett and Civic Voice Chair Martin Hamilton, after which Helen Featherstone, Director England, North, National Lottery Heritage Fund, delivered a short presentation on how the Heritage Fund had been able to help deliver projects across the north of England, including a remarkable conservation and refurbishment project at Rochdale Town Hall.
On Saturday, the day-long Convention, emceed by Kevin Trickett, was held at CAPA College – and excellent venue for our purposes. The day’s first guest speaker was Simon Lightwood MP (pictured below) who, as well as being Wakefield’s Member of Parliament is also the Shadow Transport Minister.
Other guest speakers included Paul Cartwright from Pontefract Civic Society, Clare Elliott, Julie Russell and Paul Gwilliam from Wakefield Council, Jonathan Maud, Chair and Managing Director of developer Rushbond plc, Richard Butterfield from Historic England and Louise Clare from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Claire Nicholson, Principal of CAPA College, introduced some of the students who entertained the audience with songs from the musicals (see photo below).
The message running through all the presentations was very clear – better results can be delivered when organisations work in partnership – and that civic societies have a lot to offer to stakeholders, be they councils or developers.
Tony Wade, a local artist, spoke about his work on place projects and how, on behalf of Edgelands Arts, he had pariticipated in heritage projects working with Wakefield Civic Society. The event was rounded off by Margaret Hicks-Clarke, Chair of YHACS (pictured below) who spoke about the help that YHACS can offer civic societies within the region, and finally, by Martin Hamilton who also handled a short Q&A session.
We are delighted to report that the overall arrangements worked very well and we wish to thank all guest speakers and venues for helping to make this event such a success. Since the event concluded, we have had many messages congratulating the Society and all involved in organising the event.
We would also like to thank Antony de Csernatony of KRA:FT Media Services for being the ‘official’ photographer for Saturday’s Convention and providing the photos used here.
6-8 Silver Street, Wakefield: one of the buidlings in the Westgate Heritage Action Zone
Civic society representatives from across the country are invited to Wakefield to see how Wakefield Civic Society is working with the Council and other stakeholders on the district’s Heritage and Culture regeneration strategy.
In May 2023, Civic Voice, the national body for civic societies, working with the Yorkshire and Humber Association of Civic Societies (YHACS) and Halifax Civic Trust, hosted their Spring Convention at the Piece Hall in Halifax. It was a great success, bringing together civic society represenatives from across England to hear guest speakers on a range of subjects focused on place-making and pride in place.
Following on from the success that event, we are delighted to announce that Wakefield Civic Society will be hosting this year’s Spring Convention in Wakefield on 12th and 13th April in association once again with YHACS. The Convention is one of three such events being organised by CIvic Voice across the country during 2024.
The theme for the Wakefield Convention is Heritage and Culture-led Regeneration, twin prongs of an approach being taken across Wakefield District to bring new life – and investment – into the area.
And there is a lot happening in Wakefield at the moment! A £4M 4-year High Street Heritage Action Zone is drawing to a close, having led to the refurbishment of a number of key buildings (such as the one pictured, believed to date from 1590) as well as public realm improvements along Westgate, one of the main thoroughfares in and out of the city. Meanwhile, the district is benefiting from grants from a number of sources, including Town Deal and Levelling Up funding, Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund in addition to investment from private sector businesses. But the investment isn’t just targeted at bricks and mortar – there is also a vibrant cultural programme being delivered and 2024 is Wakefield District’s ‘year of culture’, branded Our Year 2024. Importantly, local civic societies across the district work closely with the Council and other stakeholders to help deliver the vision for the Wakefield District as a great place in which to live, work – and visit.
Through an exciting line-up of guest speakers, the Convention will highlight how public investment and private sector enterprise can not only shape places but can also transform them. Although what is happening in Wakefield will be used as a case study, there are lessons that can be applied elsewhere and some of the guest speakers will open up the subject matter to what is happening across the region and beyond. Wakefield Civic Society will share their experiences of working with the Council and developers to show how partnership working can be a productive way of not only boosting the reputation of civic societies, but also recruiting new members.
There are a number of elements to the Convention programme which starts on Friday afternoon at 2pm. Details are as follows:
Friday, 12th April, 2:00 to 4:00pm: Guided walks
Explore the Westgate High Street Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) with a free guided walk led by Wakefield Civic Society. (This walk is primarily for people attending the Convention as some of the content of the Convention will be about the HAZ.)
Friday, 12th April 7:00pm to 10:30pm: Convention Dinner
To be held at Create Café in the city centre where Convention delegates will have exclusive use of the facilities, there will be a drinks reception, pre-dinner talk (to be confirmed), a three-course dinner with wine, followed by coffee and mints. Cost per person is just £45
Saturday, 13th April, 10:00am to 4:00pm, Civic Voice Spring Convention
The venue for the Convention is CAPA College (directly opposite Westgate Railway Station), a new, purpose-built college building for the performing arts (and a Wakefield Civic Society Design Award winner!). Doors open at 9.30am for tea/coffee and pastries and the Convention then starts at 10.00am.
The morning session will look at Heritage-led Regeneration and will feature presentations from Wakefield Council, developers Rushbond and Historic England among others.
The afternoon session will look at Culture-led Regeneration and guest speakers will include representatives from Wakefield Council, a local-artist, and Wakefield Civic Society among others. There will also be news from YHACS and Civic Voice. The line-up of speakers is still being confirmed but keep an eye on the Eventbrite page for all the latest news.
The event will close at 4pm.
The cost to attend the Convention only is just £40 but there is an option to book for both the Dinner and Convention together for £80, saving £5 on the cost of booking separately.
The event is open to all – civic society members, representatives from other amenity societies and individuals interested in the items covered by the agenda.
For more information and to book, have a look at the Wakefield Civic Society Eventbrite page here: https://shorturl.at/cjpv3
For anyone looking to stay overnight, the Holiday Inn Express is a hotel to consider. It is close to the venues and a short walk from Westgate Railway Station. Although it has a small car park, there is 24-hour overnight parking available in the adjacent Ridings Shopping Centre car park.
Wakefield Civic Society is calling for nominations for its annual Design and Environment Awards. The deadline for nominations is 5pm on Thursday, 29th February 2024.
Join us for our annual dinner which this year will, once again, be held at Create Cafe in Wakefield One.
If you like cocktails, great food and good company, this is the event for you!
Doors open at 7pm when a bar will be available from which to purchase drinks and order wine, etc, to accompany your meal. At 7.30, we will start with our cocktail demonstration when our mixologist for the evening, Shaun Mounsey, will demonstrate how to make three cocktails and one mocktail (the latter being without alcohol).
As Shaun demonstrates how to make the perfect cocktail, guests will have the chance to sample the drinks for themselves as they will each receive a tasting glass (approximately one-third measure) for each cocktail/mocktail that Shaun mixes.
If you’ve been to one of our Cocktail Masterclasses before, you’ll know just how popular they are! So do book early……..
Tickets cost £49 per person which includes three sample cocktails, one sample mocktail followed by a three course dinner (choice of menu ) followed by tea/coffee and mints.
We are delighted to announce that we have received a Culture Everywhere Grant from Wakefield Council.
The grant will be used to extend our series of ‘Discover Wakefield’ leaflets which explain aspects of Wakefield’s built heritage. The new leaflets will be launched in September as part of the Society’s contribution to this year’s national Heritage Open Days programme.
Society President Kevin Trickett said “In 2021, the Society was awarded a grant from the Council to help promote an awareness of Wakefield’s architectural heritage. We were able to produce four leaflets which were accompanied by further information on our website.
“At the time, we were unable to organise our usual range of guided walks because the risk of infection from Covid and wanted to produce something that people could use to explore the city’s fascinating heritage on their own. The leaflets, which were made freely available at Wakefield libraries and at the West Yorkshire History Centre, proved popular. We were, therefore, very pleased to hear that we had been awarded another grant to produce more leaflets this year”.
The four leaflets produced in 2021 (illustrated above) were:
Architect Charles Watson – the architect is credited with the design of houses in St John’s Square and the former Mechanics’ Institute as well as Stanley Royd Hospital.
Monuments to Women – very often, it is the men who are remembered when it comes to historical monuments, but women have also been commemorated, even if fewer in number.
Historic Pubs of Northgate – Illustrated with specially commissioned artwork based on old photos and period drawings and paintings, the leaflet maps out the locations of some of the former (and present) pubs of Northgate.
A City of Art and Sculpture – the leaflet introduces some of the many artworks and architectural detailing that can be found just by walking around the city centre.
The four new leaflets will cover the following topics:
The Barbara Hepworth Connection – looking at the links between Barbara Hepworth and buildings in the city centre with which she was known to have been associated.
The Railway Stations of Wakefield – this leaflet will provide background to some of the city’s railway stations – many now lost.
Historic Pubs of Kirkgate – Although Westgate is often associated with Wakefield’s night-time economy, Kirkgate had a surprising number of pubs over the years, most long-since demolished to make way for modern development.
Lost Buildings of Wakefield – Many older people will have fond memories of Wakefield in the 1950s and 60s. Look at old photographs of the city centre and the sheer number of buildings that have been demolished is astonishing. This leaflet will highlight a number of the more significant ones.
The leaflets will again be made available free of charge from Wakefield libraries and the West Yorkshire History Centre. They will also feature in the Society’s guided walks and talks and, for a nominal amount, will be available to purchase on-line.
As in 2021, it will also be possible to download copies of the new leaflets from the Society’s website where an expanded text, with additional illustrations, will also be available to read.
