It opened on 20 July 1897[1] as a single platform station with a small goods siding and this layout remained until closure.

The station was not a financial success and never brought a large income to managers.

There was some agricultural traffic, notably milk, and a few local passengers until the bus services became well established.

The station was surrounded by fields but at the same time ½ mile from the centre of the village.

The platform still stands and the station buildings have been converted into private dwellings.
