Earlsheaton railway station

Earlsheaton was a Great Northern Railway station serving the eastern areas of Dewsbury in West Yorkshire. The station was opened in 1875 and it was located on the Great Northern Batley–Dewsbury Central–Wakefield line. The line was extended to Batley by 1880.[1]

It had two platforms accessed by means of separate footpaths, both of which ultimately led to Earlsheaton Common. Facilities were on the eastbound platform.[2]

The station closed to passengers in June 1953.[3]
