====Railway station and viaduct==== A prominent viaduct lies above the southern end of Mytholmroyd town centre. It was erected in 1840 by George Stephenson and is still in use as part of the modern day [[Calder Valley Line]]. In the 1850s, [[Mytholmroyd railway station]] was built, consisting of two platforms built on the Mytholmroyd Viaduct, and a three-storey ticket office, waiting hall and entrance stairwell, leading unto the viaduct. This later closed and the platforms were built a matter of yards up the track on land, and is now accessed by open staircases and long access ramps up the steep banking, where flowers and displays are maintained by the Mytholmroyd Station Partnership. The 19th century listed, 3 floor station building has recently been fully restored back to its former glory both inside and out and is awaiting tenants. In December 2019, the project was awarded the Railway Heritage Trust Conservation Award at the 2019 National Railway Heritage Awards. It was recognised for showcasing a real passion for restoration work and an ability to understand the objectives of the original railway builders and architects. A new, near 200 space station car park is underway at the old loading yard comprising 10 E-car parking spaces, secure cycle lockers and car share facilities. The West Yorkshire Combined Authority are working with the Mytholmroyd Station Partnership to landscape the car park with bee-friendly planters and information boards.<ref>{{cite web |title=New Car Park |url=https://news.calderdale.gov.uk/station-car-park-expansion-on-track/ |website=Calderdale.Gov|access-date=21 June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Restoration |url=https://www.capitaproperty.co.uk/projects-folder/transport/mytholmroyd-station-restoration/ |website=Capitalproperty.co.uk}}</ref>
