Opened in 1839 by the Manchester & Leeds Railway, soon to become part of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, this station closed in 1889 when it was replaced by the current station, some 250m south west. View north east towards Smithy Bridge and Leeds. The shed on the left marks the site of the original goods shed. In front of it was the single storey booking office, which was demolished in the 1950s. The site now lies within an industrial estate.
