The goods facility for Blue Circle Cement, British Steel Piling and Kings Scrapyard was still staffed in the late 1970s with the staff working from the former up side station buildings.

The Ipswich and Bury Railway began operations on 30 November 1846, and the station was opened on the same day for goods traffic.

The downside platforms and structures were demolished soon after the passenger closure, allowing for the expansion of the layout in the cement factory.

[11] In 1921, the British Steel Piling Co Ltd's Zenith Works was established on the downside of the line, west of the crossing.

[12] Approximately a mile west of the level crossing, there is an active (as of 2014) aggregates terminal located on the up side of the line.

The plan to redevelop one of the old cement factory quarries into an indoor ski resort named SnOasis has raised the possibility of reopening the station.

It is uncertain whether the station will be situated at the same location due to its close proximity to the level crossing.
