    • August 11, 2008
    • Channel 4

    Building a new bridge - Castleford was once on the path of an important Roman road which forded across the River Aire, but until now has only had one bridge. People wanted a new river crossing to allow better access by foot and bike.

  • S01E02 The Parks

    • August 18, 2008
    • Channel 4

    The regeneration of Castleford moved from the river to the community spaces this week, as the residents focussed on revitalising three of the most derelict areas of the town - the old allotments at Cutsyke, the old and heavily vandalised Victorian park at Airedale Green and the village green at New Fryston.

  • S01E03 The Town Centre

    • August 25, 2008
    • Channel 4

    In this episode, Kevin follows attempts to revitalise the failing town centre market. Meanwhile, architects have ambitious plans for a cinema, bandstands and fountains in the town square, but not the budget to match.

  • S01E04 The Transport Links

    • September 1, 2008
    • Channel 4

    Kevin McCloud concludes his look at Castleford's attempts to revitalise itself with two vital schemes: traffic-calming the town's residential heart and a controversial underpass.
