Rishworth railway station was a railway station on the Rishworth branch, built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, to serve the village of Rishworth in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1881 and closed to passenger services in 1929; goods traffic ceased in 1953.[1]
While the station was open, services ran from and to Sowerby Bridge north of Rishworth. A planned extension of the line towards Rochdale was never built.[1]
None of the buildings are still standing intact, however, some station remains can be seen on the overgrown site, as well as the platform.[2]
