About

Featherstone is a town within the Wakefield district, historically defined by coal mining. The landscape is marked by former colliery sites, some now repurposed as industrial estates or green spaces, reflecting the area's industrial transition. Housing is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, built for the original mining workforce, alongside more modern developments.

A central feature is the Featherstone War Horse sculpture, a large steel structure commemorating the pit ponies of the local collieries. The community maintains a strong sense of its heritage, with the Featherstone Lions rugby league club forming a focal point for local identity at the Millennium Stadium.
