It was accessed from Pollard Lane, which still crosses the railway on a bridge there, and served mainly the southern parts of Horsforth in West Yorkshire, England.

In 1905 the station was expanded with a second pair of tracks and a goods shed south of the line.

[3] During World War I the station served in particular the National Ordnance Factory in Newlay.

It was closed on 22 March 1965 by the British Railways Board as a consequence of the Beeching Axe,[5] together with the stations Armley Canal Road, Kirkstall, Calverley & Rodley and Apperley Bridge on the same line.

[6] The station buildings have been demolished after closure, and the additional tracks built in 1905 were removed in 1967.
