The first Masonic Hall in Pontefract was above Arundel’s Offices in Ropergate in 1862.

The current building, situated at the corner of Ackworth Road and Carleton Road was built around 1890 and serves as a meeting place for 7 Masonic Lodges. The inside of Masonic Hall includes the Chapel, viewing is a unique experience.
