Just a few hundred yards down Whitehall Road from Leeds City Station, Leeds Central Station once stood for more than a century.
Trains to and from the station mainly travelled to and from the south and west of the city.
The station closed in 1967 when rail operators consolidated all city centre services into Leeds City Station, but clues can still be seen as to its past.
