The station was opened on 3 June 1912, and closed on 10 September 1951.[2] Originally, trains were operated on behalf of the DVR by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway;[3] when that company amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922, the combined organisation (also known as the London and North Western Railway) absorbed the DVR on the same day.[4]
