OK so it’s not Bradford but Morecambe did become known as ‘Bradford by the Sea’. The MR’s direct rail line between Bradford and Morecambe not only made it a favourite resort for trips and holidays for Bradford people but it got the name Bradford by the Sea more for the number of Bradford industrialists and business men who lived there and commuted daily, travelling in a special MR club carriage, as well as for the affluent Bradford people who retired there.

Built by the Midland Railway in 1846, with subsequent re-builds, it was the first station in Leeds centre. Up until the building of New Station in 1869 it was shared by the London & North Western Railway but thereafter it was used exclusively by the Midland. Seen here late 19th or early 20th century and at the end of the platforms is the Booking Hall which was replaced in 1938 with the great art deco concourse we still see today. The station closed in 1967 and today the site is the station car park.
