Station Information Boards
The Friends of Sowerby Bridge Railway Station have researched and produced information boards on people and events that have connections with Sowerby Bridge. These are displayed on the Leeds platform, the Manchester platform and in the Brontë Garden. Hopefully station users will find them of interest whilst they wait for their trains.
