Chickenley Heath railway station served the village of Chickenley, in the historical county of West Riding of Yorkshire, England, from 1877 to 1909 on the West Yorkshire Railway.

History

[edit]

The station was opened on 2 July 1877 on the Great Northern Railway. When the Dewsbury loop opened in 1880, this station lost a lot of its traffic due to the trains being diverted, so it closed on 1 July 1909.[1][2]
