The first Masonic Hall in Pontefract was above Arundel's Offices in Ropergate in 1862. In 1892, land at the end of Ropergate was purchased for £375 to purpose build a new hall, which was completed in 1894. 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 the Masonic Hall includes the Temple, where Masonic meetings are held, viewing is a unique experience.
