Watson's Crossing Halt was a halt on the Rishworth branch, in West Yorkshire, England built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. It was located just west of Watson Mill Lane, named after a nearby woollen mill.[1]
The halt was opened to serve the new motor railcar service in 1907 which was introduced on this line and the neighbouring Stainland Branch in response to growing competition from trams.[2] When open, services ran to heading north, and to heading south.[3]
