Title
Greetland Station Booking Office. - NGH00120
Description
The small timber Booking Office on the station approach road was opposite the east end of the down platform which is off the photo here to the left. On the left are the steps up to the footbridge which connected the platforms and was the only passenger access to the up platform. (See NGH00110)
The station on the Manchester & Leeds Railway’s (M&LR) Calder Valley Main Line was originally known as North Dean. It was opened in July 1844 on completion of the M&LR’s Halifax Branch which ran from a junction at North Dean up to a terminus station at Shaw Syke, south of Halifax town centre. The line was extended to the centre of Halifax and on to Bradford in 1850.
Greetland Station closed in September 1962 but the lines all remain in use.
