Wakefield
A city in West Yorkshire, Wakefield has a population of around 80,000. As a centre for cloth dealing during the medieval period, the city matured as a stalwart of glass production. Nowadays it is distinctive for its prisons, the National Coal Mining Museum for England, and its relatively large proportion of council housing. It's not all doom and gloom, though - the city plays host to many pub crawls due to large amounts of pubs in certain areas of the city; as well as an annual Rhubarb Festival!
