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. Only an access ramp and parts of the side wall along Dryden Street remain, as well as parts of the coal depot.[3]

St James's Market on the site of the former station (2011)

Bradford St James's Market now occupies the greater part of the station site while the new alignment of Wakefield Road runs across the site of the former train shed.[4]
