History

When the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway (later absorbed by the Great Northern) arrived in Bradford they initially built a terminus at Adolphus Street. It was poorly situated and so a branch line was built from east of the terminus that looped south and joined the existing Lancashire and Yorkshire line at Mill Lane junction. That allowed LB & HJ services to enter Bradford Exchange station.[2]

The station was closed to passengers in 1867 but remained in use for parcels and freight traffic until 1972. The station was later demolished.[3]
