The former nightclub building is currently being demolished to make way for apartments. Wakefield Council’s cabinet members agreed to sell to the Kiko’s site on Stuart Road in September last year after claiming the building was an “eyesore”.
Kiko’s opened in 1974, and was a late-night hotspot within Pontefract for several decades before it’s sudden closure in 2011.
