The money from Historic England has been handed to Wakefield Council s Westgate High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ).
It is one of more than 60 high streets to receive a share of £6 million for their cultural programme.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: “The high street cultural programme is a step change in the way we think about bringing high streets back from the brink.
Coun Darren Byford is backing the campaign. As we start to see these important historic spaces become regenerated through building work, it is the community-led cultural work that helps people to enjoy their high street again and also have a say in what the future of their high street might be.”
