This former pub on the corner of Monk Street (foreground) and Park Street, dating from 1830 (ten years before the nearby railway station) has been closed for a considerable time (since 2003 according to http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/yorkshire/wakefield_wakefieldarms.html ) and is now derelict. It would probably have been demolished except that it is grade 2 listed (list entry 1245773) as "the only surviving example of a building covered with Joseph Aspdin's patent Portland cement".
