The station consisted of an island platform with a canopy, goods yard and a connection to riverside wharves.

The passenger station closed when the branch service was withdrawn on 1 December 1952.

The line to Edington Burtle via Cossington was closed completely in 1954 after goods traffic was diverted over a new connection to the GWR docks branch which continued until 1962.

Bridgwater railway station remains open on the Bristol to Taunton Line.

The site is now occupied by a Sainsbury's supermarket and an adjacent large retail park.
