Pudsey Greenside railway station is a closed railway station in Pudsey in the former West Riding of Yorkshire England, located about 6 mi (10 km) west of Leeds station. It served the central part and western parts of Pudsey. It was opened to passengers on 1 April 1878 as the terminus of a single-track branch line from Bramley, built by the Great Northern Railway. Freight traffic had already started in 1877. In 1893 this line was double-tracked and extended through Greenside Tunnel towards Laisterdyke and Dudley Hill, forming the Pudsey loop line railway. Upon the reorganisation of the railways in 1923, the line passed to the London and North Eastern Railway, and in 1948 to the Eastern Region of British Railways. The station was located east of Carlisle Road, with the station building on its northern side. A substantial goods shed was built on the south side of the station.The station and the line in its entirety were closed to all traffic on 15 June 1964. The site of the former station is now occupied by warehouses. The site where the goods sheds and sidings once stood is now housing. Pudsey is now served by the station New Pudsey on the Calder Valley Line, opened on 6 March 1967 and located about 1 mi (1.6 km) north of the town centre.

Municipal Borough of Brighouse
Municipal Borough of Brighouse

The Municipal Borough of Brighouse was a local government district in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1873 to 1974 around the town of Brighouse, covering Clifton, Hipperholme, Hove Edge, Lightcliffe, Rastrick and Southowram. Brighouse was historically part of the township of Hipperholme with Brighouse in the large ancient parish of Halifax. A local board formed for the parish of Brighouse in 1865. It incorporated as a municipal borough by amalgamating the local boards of Brighouse, Rastrick, and Hove Edge on 30 September 1893. Its first mayor was Alderman William Smith.Brighouse Town Hall was opened on 16 March 1887 as the seat of local government and was taken over by the Borough upon its creation. The Neoclassical sandstone building was designed by John Lord and is Grade II listed. Arms were granted to the Borough Council in 1895, which can be seen on a plaque Brighouse Bridge and as the logo of Brighouse Town F.C. The arms are derived from the crests of the Brighouse and Rastrick families who lived in the district in the seventeenth century. The gold lion and the black crescents come from the Brighouse family and the red roses are from the crest of the Rastrick family. It is unusual to see the inclusion of red roses on the arms of a Yorkshire borough.In 1937 Brighouse MB expanded by absorbing part of the abolished Halifax Rural District - Norwood Green & Coley civil parish and parts of the parishes of Clifton, Fixby and Hartshead (2,811 acres); Hipperholme Urban District (1,196 acres); and Southowram Urban District (1,642 acres).The borough was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, and created the eastern portion of the new Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale in West Yorkshire by a merger with the County Borough of Halifax, the Municipal Borough of Todmorden, Elland, Hebden Royd, Ripponden, and Sowerby Bridge urban districts, part of Queensbury and Shelf UD and Hepton Rural District. The mayor's mace was removed in 1974 to the Town Hall, Halifax, where it is displayed in the mayor's parlour to denote the authority of the Halifax mayor.
