The first station at Sowerby Bridge opened in October 1840 with the opening of the Manchester & Leeds Railway between Hebden bridge and Normanton. It was situated between Sowerby Tunnel and Rochdale Road and there were only passenger facilities on the 'down' Leeds line. It was the nearest station to Halifax and passengers were conveyed between the two by horse drawn omnibus until that service was transferred to Elland, with lower turnpike tolls, in November 1841. It was totally demolished when the new station was built, where it stands today, in the late 1870s and the site was developed as a goods depot and later also as a locomotive depot. It is now Tesco supermarket car park.
