Disused railway station in West Yorkshire, England
Cooper Bridge was a railway station built by the Manchester and Leeds Railway to serve the town of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, England.[1]
History
Opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway in 1840 to serve Huddersfield, 4 miles (6.4 km) away, which at that time did not have a station of its own.[2]
It is sometimes wrongly claimed that the station was built for and by, the owner of Kirklees Hall the Armytage family, although they were in fact investors in the rival Huddersfield & Manchester Railway.[3]
