It's a disgrace the amount of money Wakefield Council have put into that place when you see the pathetic state of sporting facilities in the City

Not really. The Hepworth will hopefully bring in visitors to the city and the surrounding district, giving the area a boost.

Back to the building, I guess the design has achieved exactly what the architect wanted, it's got people talking about it.

This building probably won't bring as many people into the City as Trinity Walk will, but it will bring people from far and wide - including internationally - and will take Wakefield a long way from being the 'Cultural Desert' it was once described as.

I would give the building a little bit of time yet. We haven't yet seen it c/w Landscaping and without the site hoardings. The setting is truly magnificent and if the surrounding area can be re-developed (I know we may have to wait a little while for that) then I think it's outline / shadows etc could be truly spectacular and unlike anything else in this country at the very least.

The only question mark I have is why, when so few of us are art buffs and so few of us spend our leisure time trapsing around galleries etc as opposed to either watching or participating sport, does this development get away with having £35m spent on it and yet the council have to be persueded to invest a fraction of that into it's sporting facilities - and even then some complain that it's too much??? Bizzare IMO. icon_confused.gif

I'm not sure that Trinity Walk is going to bring that many people into the City as there are already White Rose and Meadowhall not to far away. It may stop the people of Wakefield going to these other places but can't see it bringing many in from further afield. A really decent market like Bury is the way to get folk from all over to visit.

It will take massive development for that to happen it is in a derelict part of town. Seems a very strange location to me.

Craziness indeed sports facilities are terrible in Wakey and the council couldn't care less. Isn't there another art place up by the train station?

It gets me that they spent all this money on the Hepworth building, but seem to have completely forgotten the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

What is it that they have built at the bottom of Westgate?

They should have spent the £35m on a state of the art train station or something like that.

Do you mean the car park?

I agree, they should be renovating the station, Im sure I read somewhere that they were going to, while they're at it they can do Kirkgate as well.

If Wakefield follows the path of Leeds, Manchester etc, albeit on a smaller scale, this initial investment will precede another one fueled by the growth and potential offered by the first.

I am led to believe,that most of the funding came from grants.

If you mean at the end of the beck its just a run off under the road to a drainage tank, due to flooding problems, they knocked down the old shops and will make a park/seating area.


I don't know this for sure but it look about right from the works i've seen so far.

Agree - i'm sure i'd read, or was told, that it was supposed to be covered in old slate but they'd run out of money so had to blast the concrete to give it the same effect . Im sorry ,but in my opinion it looks cak !

They must have judged it on the inside and not the outside. It looks like a concrete bunker.

It's a statement on life in Wakefield. Superficially, it's grey and boring, but underneath the dull exterior it's vibrant and exciting.

Is it time for my tablets yet, nurse?
