The station became a carriage shed on 21 December 1896, upon the LOR's southern extension through the cliffside to Dingle and the subsequent construction of a 'through' station by the same name slightly north of the original.[1]
The station closed, along with the rest of the line on 30 December 1956. No evidence of this station remains.
