High Royds railway station

High Royds railway station was situated on the South Yorkshire Railway's Blackburn Valley line between Birdwell & Hoyland Common and Dovecliffe. The station opened on 4 September 1854 and closed just two years later, one of the most short-lived stations in the county.

High Royds, a small mining community near Barnsley in South Yorkshire is not to be confused with High Royds, near Menston in West Yorkshire, served by the Wharfedale Line and the site of a former mental health institution.

gollark: Mwahahahaha! With my excessively fast typing speed and reasonably okay keyboard, I can ninja everyone 100% of the time, 10% of the time!
gollark: C++ is more complicated and weirder, and it may be bad teaching.
