There's nothing unusual or highly commendable about publishing a website these days.  Within a matter of minutes and with a couple of clicks of a mouse button you can have your own space on the Internet and begin putting forward your own personal point of view.  What is unusual, in light of my more recent experiences, is that there are still a small minority of people dedicated to producing something that can be shared and enjoyed among the local community. Despite the fact that I have discovered it can prove to be an unrewarding experience, on behalf of the people who have done so much for the local community over recent times, often with little or no recognition whatsoever, I dedicate this website to them in the hope that their contributions can be acknowledged for generations to come.

This is my own area of the Pontefract website through which I would like to express my own views and opinions and offer my appreciation to those people who have supported me over recent years and whose own personal efforts in documenting our past have enabled this website to become the primary source of reference for the town of Pontefract in West Yorkshire.
