I worked in Cas for thirty odd years and can't recal Newton hill club. One place that had bands on regularly early to mid 70's was the Trades and labour club which then became Langtree park, if I was guessing I'd have guessed there. I saw John Parr there probably mid 70's, he of St Elmo's fire fame.

And lets not forget Horbury born architect John Carr (1723 - 1807). Harewood House just one of his designs and the wonderful St Peters church in Horbury.

Not in Cas, it’s where Newton Hill roundabout is , top end of Wakey.

Not sure but I think they stopped calling it Newton House club when they knocked the old club down, and renamed the new one the Roundhouse.

Next to where the vine tree/ Capri restaurant is? There was a pub there in the 70s

Later to be known as the Arabesque I believe

Charles Waterton who was the Sir David Attenborough of his time in mid late 1700s

Correct the list is building.

We are all forgetting David Storey. Author and playwright.
Born Wakefield, attended Qegs and then arts college in Leeds.
Whilst at the latter played rugby league for Leeds,
Author of ‘This Sporting Life’ which won awards as a film .Was then, in 1976 awarded ‘Booker Prize’ for his novel ‘Saville’.

This is the current roll of honourhttp://www.wakefield.gov.uk/events-and-culture/wakefield-stars?rl

Isn't Helen Fielding (wrote the Bridget Jones books/films) one of yours?

Sure I read she was from Leeds.

If Kathrine Kelly is in then how about Reece Dinsdale, a Normy old boy, Coronation street, Spooks, Life on Mars, Silent witness, Taggart, Waterloo road, and numerous high end theatre productions.

Good call, also used to mention Trinity quite often on his radio show.

She's from Leeds but J K Rowling lived in Wakefield for a short while as a young teenager and went to Girls High for a few terms but that's pushing it a bit.

That said I can't remember where I got that from
