History

The station opened in 1897, having moved around 150 metres south from the original station site that had opened on 7 August 1856. The second station's site was closed by the British Railways Board in 1964.

The station had a single platform, a signal box near the road overbridge, a few sidings and a goods shed. The platform has been demolished and a private dwelling is now located at the site of the old station building.
