History
The station opened on 18 September 1848 by the London and North Western Railway. The station was situated on the embankment southeast of the railway bridge across Elland Road.[1] H. H. Asquith and Sir Charles Scarth, the Mayor of Morley, both met at the station on 16 October 1895 and they both rode up Churwell Hill for the official ceremony of Morley Town Hall. The station was closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 2 December 1940.[2][3][4]
