History

The station opened on 7 May 1906 by the Bankfoot Railway. It was the northern terminus of a short branch line and was north of station. Opposite the only platform were goods sidings and a goods shed. The station was closed to passengers on 13 April 1931 and closed to goods traffic on 7 September 1964. The site became a caravan site with the platform surviving; now it is a housing estate.
