North Bridge railway station served on the Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway in West Yorkshire, England. The North bridge itself had to be rebuilt 11 feet (3.4 m) higher by the L&YR and the GNR to clear the tracks. The station has been since demolished and a leisure centre built on the site, the only real remnant of the station is the Iron Foot Bridge and in the distance Old Lane Tunnel.
