Explore Castleford
Known for
Henry Moore's birthplace, the Cas Tigers rugby league team, the glass and pottery heritage, and a Yorkshire pit town that's reinventing itself
A little history
Castleford was a Roman fort (Lagentium) before becoming a coal mining and glass-making town. Henry Moore was born here in 1898. The pits have closed but the Tigers keep the community identity fierce.
The Henry Moore connection is underplayed locally. The Tigers ground for rugby league atmosphere. The market for Yorkshire produce.
