Rishworth railway station

Rishworth railway station was a railway station on the Rishworth branch, built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, to serve the village of Rishworth in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1881 and closed to passenger services in 1929; goods traffic ceased in 1953. While the station

was open, services ran from and to Sowerby Bridge north of Rishworth. A planned extension of the line towards Rochdale was never built. None of the buildings are still standing intact, however, some station remains can be seen on the overgrown site, as well as the platform.
