Wyke and Norwood Green railway station served the villages of Wyke and Norwood Green in West Yorkshire, England.

History

Originally situated a little to the south west and named Pickle Bridge, it was opened in 1850, renamed Wyke in 1852 and moved to the final location in 1896. It was closed to passengers by the British Transport Commission on 21 September 1953.[1]

A grade II listed building, called Junction House, still exists on the site and is used as a private house. According to Historic England it was a signalman's cottage and may have been part of the original station.[2]
