Title
Morley Top Station, Nr. Leeds - DNT00168
Description
Morley Top, seen here pre-First World War, was on the Leeds, Bradford & Halifax Junction Railway’s Gildersome Branch and extension which opened over its whole length between Laisterdyke and Ardsley in 1857 and was acquired by the GNR in 1865. The station which was much nearer to the town centre than Morley Low opened in 1857 and the platforms stood over the LNWR Leeds-Huddersfield. Morley Top closed in 1960 and the line between Laisterdyke and Ardsley closed to passengers in 1966 and gradually to freight services with the final short stub between Laisterdyke and Dudley Hill closing in 1981.
