"The Wire" (as they're called, never The Wolves) play rugby league (13-a-side) in Super League, England's top tier. The playing season is Feb-Sept. Their stadium (capacity 15,000) is 200 yards north of Central station. In 2022 the stadium hosted matches in the Rugby League World Cup, postponed from 2021. The women's team play in their top tier at Victoria Park at the southeast edge of town.
This was built in open fields in 1750 as a mansion for the Patten family. The perimeter wall and splendid Golden Gates were added in the 19th century when town grew to engulf it. (The gates were intended for the royal residence at Sandringham, but Queen Victoria took against them so they were going cheap.) The building is a busy council headquarters, but even if you're not here to pay your tax or complain about waste bin collections, you can look in on the public lobby.
