Opened in 1900 by the London & North Western Railway on their Spen Valley "New" line from Huddersfield to Leeds, this station closed to passengers in 1953 and completely in 1964. View north towards Liversedge Spen and Leeds. The site is now covered by private housing but the line (now a footpath) continues beyond the buildings.
