Ripponden and Barkisland railway station

Ripponden and Barkisland railway station was opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on the Rishworth branch in 1878 as Ripponden. [1] Ripponden is in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. [2] Its name was changed to Ripponden and Barkisland on 1 December 1891. [3] The Lancashire and Yorkshire railway was absorbed by the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922, which became one of the constituents of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on grouping in 1923. [4] The latter company closed the station to passengers on 8 July 1929 and British Railways ceased goods traffic in 1958 after which the line was dismantled. [5]

The branch connected Sowerby Bridge to the north with the terminus Rishworth to the south. [6]
