The main building was situated on the up platform and was two-storeys high to provide the station master with accommodation.

The goods shed was nearby at the east end of the station, and a signal box was built opposite on the other platform in 1875.

The track through the northern platform was retained to serve Whiteway’s factory, but the signal box was closed and the train crew operated the points.
