We went in for something to eat
It’s not as grand as it was when we last ventured inside (2009), but still retains a glamorous air

I nipped into Wakefield (Waterstones) to pick up a book, l’d ordered
Whilst there, l had a quick look along WestGate
It’s undergoing some restoration/cleaning up

The first building to be done is the frontage to;

‘Black Swan Yard’
Silver Street
WestGate

The scaffolded building was erected in the early 60s, & replaced a timber framed building that was just as ornate as the Shop front

I’ll return when l know the scaffolding is gone

The pub itself (Black Swan) is through gateway, into ’Black Swan Yard’
