Great Horton Railway station, Bradford. West Yorkshire.

If it had stayed open then this would have been my local station as a child. As it was, it had closed by May 1955 and I never saw trains running here.

It appears to be in its last dilapidated days in this photo.

Great Horton was on the Bradford to Queensbury line and today would be an absolute gem for the movement of people to and from the City as Great Horton Road is often so congested.

Freight lingered on until June 1965 after passenger services were withdrawn but the station and indeed the whole line wasn't to be saved.
