About Pontefract and the 01977 Area Code

Pontefract is a historic market town in West Yorkshire with a rich and dramatic past stretching back to Roman times. The town is dominated by the ruins of Pontefract Castle, where Richard II was imprisoned and died in 1400 and which withstood three sieges during the English Civil War before being slighted by Parliament. Pontefract is also famous for its liquorice heritage; the plant was grown here from monastic times, and Pontefract cakes, the distinctive round liquorice sweets, have been produced in the town since the 17th century and are still made today.

The 01977 exchanges cover several towns in the former West Riding coalfield. Castleford, at the confluence of the Rivers Aire and Calder, was the Roman fort of Lagentium and later became a major coal mining and glass-making centre; it is the birthplace of sculptor Henry Moore and artist David Hockney attended school nearby. Knottingley has a long association with the glass industry and sits on the Aire and Calder Navigation. South Elmsall and South Milford are former mining communities that have diversified since the colliery closures of the 1980s and 1990s, with South Milford now a commuter village for Leeds and York.

A 01977 virtual phone number connects your business with the communities of the eastern West Yorkshire coalfield, an area undergoing significant regeneration. Major investments including the Xscape leisure complex at Castleford and new housing developments are transforming these historic towns while preserving their strong local identities.
