Wilsden railway station was a station on the Queensbury Lines which ran between Keighley, Bradford and Halifax.
The station was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1886, 2miles away from the village of Wilsden. It was closer to the small hamlet of Harecroft, West Yorkshire, England.
The station had two platforms and a large goods shed. It was the last station to open on the Queensbury-Keighley section of the line. Just along the line was the 300yd long 17 arch Hewenden Viaduct.
