Denholme railway station was a station on the Keighley-Queensbury section of the Queensbury Lines which ran between Keighley, Bradford and Halifax via Queensbury.

History

The station was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1884,^[1], almost 1 mile (1.6 km) from the village of Denholme, West Yorkshire, England. It was accessed by a long dimly lit passage way from the village. The station had an island platform which was accessed by a long iron footbridge which spanned the goods yard. It closed to passengers on 23 May 1955 along with the rest of the line from Keighley to Queensbury. It remained open for goods mainly from a local timber merchants until 1961. The site has been cleared and is now occupied by a warehouse and timber yard.
