Northorpe Higher railway station served the Northorpe area of Mirfield, in West Yorkshire, England.
History Northorpe Station was situated on the north side of Shillbank Lane, with its platforms, buildings and covered access stairs built of wood. On 11 July 1921, a passing goods train started a grass fire at around 6 p.m., which spread to the station buildings, destroying them and damaging the track when the canopy fell. The station was replaced the same year with Northorpe Higher station, this time south of the overbridge over Shillbank Lane. The station buildings were not new, but the former railway buildings at railway station, which were taken down and re-erected at Northorpe.
The station was closed to passengers on 5 October 1953.
