New City Apartments, 36 Wood Street, Wakefield
Old maps suggest that this was built in the mid-1970s on the site of a small car park. That had been there since the 1950s at the awkward junction with Cross Street, straightened out by this development. The ground floor appears to be vacant or is being refitted. No 38 on the left appears to be an employment agency called Concept. The view is from Chancery Lane.

The back of The Cow Shed
The bland exterior of the building conceals the fact that it includes part of a late 15th century timber framed building, and further interior detailing from the late Elizabethan period. Not an obvious candidate from the outside to be Listed Grade II*.
