Title
Midland Station Frontage pre-1890 - DNT00213
Description
The original station here was built in 1846 by the Leeds & Bradford Railway which had been formed to connect the two towns by railway along the Aire Valley. The company was acquired by the MR in 1853 who rebuilt the station seen here and this in turn was rebuilt and enlarged in 1890. It had been intended that when the L&YR line was completed from Halifax to Bradford in 1850 it would be extended across Bradford to join up with the Midland Station but this never came about thus leaving Bradford to this day with two disconnected terminus stations only a few hundred metres apart.
