Bentahm station entrance (SC)
Bentham railway station serves the small town of High Bentham in North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the Leeds to Morecambe Line, between Wennington and Clapham. Bentham is close to the Forest of Bowland a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The station was opened on 2 May 1850 by the “little” North Western Railway, later taken over by the Midland Railway. During part of the nineteenth century, it was known as Bentham High as the neighbouring settlement of Low Bentham also had its own station (although this only lasted until 1874). The station building, built in the 1950s, is now privately owned and houses Craven’s Little Red Bus and a Youth Cafe.
