The station, which lies between Wadsley Bridge and Deepcar was opened on 14 July 1845 and closed on 15 June 1959.[2] The old station house is a grade two listed building constructed from gritstone[3] and has been used for industrial purposes for a number of years. In 2008 it was renovated and converted into a house. When the station was still in use, the goods sidings were used for carrying wood pulp to the nearby paper mill and also freight to and from the Oughtibridge silica works.[4]

As of 2025, there are plans to reopen Oughtibridge station as a calling point on a tram-train extension of the South Yorkshire Supertram network between Sheffield Victoria and Stocksbridge town centre.[5]
