Watson's Crossing Halt was a halt on the Rishworth Branch, in West Yorkshire, England built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway.
History
The halt was opened to serve the new motor railcar service in 1907 which was introduced on this line and the neighbouring Stainland Branch in response to growing competition from trams. When open, services ran to Sowerby Bridge heading north, and to Rishworth heading south.
