History
The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders[2] and was opened along with the line in 1876 and closed on 4 May 1970,[3] when the local passenger service over the line was withdrawn.
The main station buildings were located on the eastern, southbound, platform and were sold and converted into a private residence after closure. They currently remain in use as holiday accommodation. Both platforms have been demolished and removed.
