Luddendenfoot railway station
[2][3] On 1 April 1841, Branwell Brontë was transferred from Sowerby Bridge and appointed 'clerk in charge' at Luddendenfoot at a salary of £130 per annum.Later, an audit of the station accounts showed a deficit of eleven pounds, one shilling and sevenpence, which Watson had probably stolen; but Brontë was dismissed, and also had to make up the shortfall from his outstanding salary.The Luddendenfoot Local Board of Health commissioned the new Boy Bridge from Halifax architects Utley and Grey, with James Wild, a local stonemason and ironwork by Wood Brothers of Sowerby Bridge.The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway contributed £1,625 to the cost of rebuilding the bridge and it was completed in 1882.[6] Two fatal accidents occurred close to the station before its closure - the first in 1925[7] and the second thirty years later in 1955.
