This is the only part of the original station that has survived. This is well worth a visit - I think it opened about two years ago. Thus Sowerby Bridge joins a select small group of stations having refreshment facilities which include real ale and good food. The only ones I know about besides Sowerby Bridge are Stalybridge, Huddersfield, Bridlington and Bury (Bolton Street) - the last being on the preserved East Lancashire Railway. All these are in northern England. If anyone knows of other examples, I would be very pleased to hear of them. If such establishments were more widespread, it would be a distinct incentive to encourage rail travel.
