Ferry Fryston

Ferry Fryston

Ferry Fryston is a suburb of the town of Castleford in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated in the metropolitan borough of the City of Wakefield.

It was home to a coal mine before closure which was affectionately known locally as Fryston Pit. The area where the mine once stood has now been re-developed. Wakefield Metropolitan District Council approved plans in November 2007 for 150 new dwellings, parkland and public open space. The dwellings have still yet to be built.

Most homes in the area were homes of local miners. Local authority housing was sold off and is now privately owned by Wakefield District Housing.
