Title
Marsh Lane Station Leeds - DNT00128
Description
The rather forlorn looking station in BR days. It is the site of the first railway station in Leeds opened by the Leeds & Selby Railway in 1834 although about a mile east of the city centre in an area described at the time as ‘one of the most unpleasant and dirty parts of the town’. Its initial working life was short lived due to the machinations of George Hudson, the ‘Railway King’. However in 1869 the NER extended the line from Marsh Lane into New Station in the city centre which they had had constructed jointly with the LNWR. Marsh Lane Station was closed in 1958.
