There has been a station at Garforth since 1834 but the footbridge was only added c.1900. It is listed grade II (list entry 1393728) as "an attractive example of the standard North Eastern Railway design". Update April 2023 - the bridge is about to be removed (despite its listed status) to enable electrification work on the line, and given to the narrow-gauge Bredgar and Wormshill Railway in Kent https://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/list.php?label=Bredgar+Wormshill+Light+Railway&gridref=TQ8758
