Foulridge railway station served the village of Foulridge in Lancashire, England between 1848 and 1959. It was a stop on the Skipton-Colne line.
History
It was built by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway, which was later absorbed by the Midland Railway. It opened on 2 October 1848[1] on the section between Colne and Skipton.
The station closed on 5 January 1959.[1][2] The station building was subsequently dismantled brick-by-brick and re-erected at Ingrow West railway station on the heritage Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.[1][3]
The line serving it remained in use until 2 February 1970, when it was closed to all traffic. The trackbed is now a shared-use path.
