The station opened on 6 December 1853, as part of the southern extension of the S&HR from Ludlow to Hereford.

It became a junction station in August 1861, when the Tenbury Railway (operated by the S&HR) opened a five-mile branch line.

In 1889, a bay platform, known as the Back Platform, was added to serve the Wyre Forest Line; this was accessed via two diamond crossings in the main lines and continued in use until being removed in 1957.

[3] The station closed on 31st July 1961,[4] the same date as the closure of the former Tenbury Railway.
