It was one of two railway stations serving the village, the other being Kilnhurst Central.

They were situated at either end of the village's main thoroughfare, Victoria Street.

The first station in the village, believed to have been on the south side of the bridge, opened by the North Midland Railway, was closed in January 1851.

The station was closed, along with others on the line, when these trains were axed on 1 January 1968.
