A thriving market town which owes its fame to liquorice
A thriving market town, Pontefract in West Yorkshire owes much of its fame to its most famous product, Pontefract Cakes, which are small liquorice sweets.
Liquorice was grown in Pontefract from around the 16th century on plots of land behind people’s houses. Although originally consumed as a medicine both for humans and for horses, by the 19th century, it was used extensively for confectionery and demand for Pontefract Cakes outstripped the capacity of Pontefract growers to supply the liquorice. The town still hosts an annual Liquorice Festival each July.
Pontefract, West Yorkshire is also known for horse racing which has taken place in the town since 1648. Pontefract Racecourse is the longest flat, circular course in Europe.
