Wilsden Railway Station
Wilsden railway station was a station on the Queensbury Lines which ran between Keighley, Bradford and Halifax.
History
The station was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1886, 2 miles (3.2 km) away from the village of Wilsden. It was closer to the small hamlet of Harecroft, West Yorkshire, England.
The station had two platforms and a large goods shed. It was the last station to open on the Queensbury-Keighley section of the line. Just along the line was the 300-yard (270 m) long 17 arch Hewenden Viaduct.
