When the BD&JR built its alternative route in Lawley Street in 1842, the line, known as the Stonebridge Railway, lost its importance and the passenger service finished in 1917.
It was renamed Maxstoke in 1923 (while Forge Mills became Coleshill)
Freight services continued until 30 April 1939. The track was removed soon after and the station was demolished.
On 24 February 2014, a local volunteer from Birmingham, with the full permission of a local farmer, began uncovering the platform fascia and brickwork.
