The Gaslight on Lower Warrengate was originally the home of the Wakefield Street Lighting Company. In the 19th century the company was given Royal Assent to light up the streets of Wakefield, by supplying gas to the city’s lamps. The spacious building dates back to 1889, and it has been beautifully restored, retaining many of its original features.
