Gissing Centre
Heritage Open Day: The Gissing Centre is a small museum based in the childhood home of George Gissing (1857-1903) the late-Victorian novelist. The Centre invites visitors into a Victorian house in the heart of Wakefield to learn about the novelist and his family. The Gissing house is just off the wide main street of Westgate where the corn and wool markets were held in previous times. It stands behind the street frontage on which Gissing's father had a busy chemist's shop in the mid-nineteenth century. It is accessed through an archway into Thompson's Yard, one of the Victorian yards or streets which follow the lines of the medieval burgage plots from the main street to the back lane.
