The station was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1884,[1] almost 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the town of Denholme, West Yorkshire, England.

The station had an island platform which was accessed by a long iron footbridge which spanned the down tracks.

The site also housed a goods yard, with stone-built shed, stables, and numerous sidings - with coal and timber being the principal traffic, as evident from photographs of the site whilst it was still in operation.

The station closed to passengers on 23 May 1955[2] along with the rest of the line from Keighley to Queensbury.

The timber yard closed in 2012[3] and the site is now (2016) vacant, but with outline planning permission for a small housing estate.
