Opened by the Somerset Central Railway in 1856, the station consisted of a wooden platform and buildings.

A level crossing, goods yard and dedicated siding for milk train to the Wiltshire United Co-operative Society's creamery, were operated from two lever frames, one at each end of the station.

The station closed with the SDJR on 7 March 1966, although access to the dairy was maintained via a spur from Highbridge.

In the months before closure, goods trains loaded with fly ash tipped at the construction site of the M5 motorway to enable it to progress across the Somerset Levels.
