Why are we O-K?

Well it's got nothing to do with glossy goss like Hello! Magazine - you won't find many anorexic debutantes, Hooray Henries or superstars here. Simply our district is a heck of a lot more than just Wakefield, the Cathedral City: it encompasses many small and medium sized towns which take a pride in their individual identities. The branch area stretches from near-Heavy Woollen District Ossett in the West to edge-of-Vale-of-York Knottingley in the East, and from the Leeds commuterland of Outwood in the North to the cluster of ex-mining communities in the Elm Valley to the South around South Kirkby. Our branch magazine proclaims this diversity in its title "O-K" and  currently depicts a different local tradtional inn sign, which may be from anywhere in the district on the cover of each issue.
