GNR Shipley to Laisterdyke

GNR built a spur from the Leeds main line at Laisterdyke which ran through Eccleshill, Idle, Thackley and down into Shipley where it terminated at a separate station to the Midlands main Aire valley route

Almost all the stations were built to the same pattern. Eccleshill, taken at the turn of the last century, shows how they looked when in busy use. Sadly the others are demised after Dr Beecking's axe fell on them.
