The station was opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.

On 4 January 1960 the station closed to passengers,[1][2] although goods traffic survived until 1966.

[3] No trace of the station now exists due to redevelopment which lowered the land level and subsequent property (bungalow) construction.

However, a very small section of stone wall at the one time goods yard entrance is still visible.
