It was the closest of Wath-upon-Dearne's three railway stations to the town centre, lying immediately to its north-east, over the Dearne and Dove Canal bridge.

The station was closed when local passenger services on the line ended on 29 June 1959.

The buildings were in the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway's large "Double Pavilion" style, an indication that rebuilding had taken place in the last quarter of the 19th century.

The station buildings were not demolished until the area was cleared during road improvement works in 2004.
