The sad remains of the once-great Bradford Exchange station. Built in
1888, the magnificent twin-arched Bradford Exchange saw its last
steam-hauled train on 1 October 1967. Its 10 platforms were closed in
1973, to be replaced by a more modest 4-platform station on the other
side of Bridge Street. |
