Gildersome East railway station served the village of Gildersome, West Yorkshire, England, from 1900 to 1921 on the Leeds New Line.

History

The station was opened on 1 October 1900 by the London and North Western Railway. The goods yard consisted of three sidings as with stables and warehouses. It didn't bring in much revenue due to its remote location and it was only used by workers for the nearby St Bernard's. It closed as a wartime economy measure on 1 August 1917 but reopened on 5 May 1919, only to close again on 11 July 1921.[2][3]
