History
The station opened as Morley on 10 October 1857 by the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway. Its name was changed to Morley Top on 2 March 1951 to avoid confusion with another station of the same name. The station closed to passengers on 2 January 1961[1] and closed to goods in May 1969.[2] The station master's house still survives.[3]
