Title
Wakefield Kirkgate Station - DNT00124
Description
The station was opened by the M&LR at the same time as the section of its line between Hebden Bridge and Normanton and was Wakefield’s only station until Westgate Station was opened in 1867. The station was rebuilt in 1854 and its frontage seen here late 19th century. The signage above the canopy read ‘Lancashire & Yorkshire and Great Northern Railways’.
The station was Listed in 1979 but by that time some buildings had been demolished and the unstaffed station continued to deteriorate and was subject to vandalism all deterring it being used. A £4 million refurbishment project took place between 2013 and 2015.
