Holmfield railway station

[1] The station was opened by the Great Northern Railway on 14 October 1878 as the terminus of the line from Queensbury, following delays to the Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway due to land slips in the Halifax area.

It became a through station with the opening of the line to Halifax on 1 September 1879 (goods) with passenger services not starting along the entire route until 1 December 1879.

The station closed to passengers 23 May 1955 with goods facilities remaining via Queensbury until 28 May 1956 and via Halifax until 27 June 1960.

The overbridge carrying Holdsworth Road at the northern end of the station still exists, with a flooded cutting stretching north from the bridge.

[3] In March 2008 a planning application was submitted to redevelop the existing disused industrial buildings on the remaining unused railway land to build mixed use industrial units.
