History
The first station was opened on 26 June 1840 by the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway. It was short-lived, with only a sentry box, closing one and a half months later in August 1840. It was replaced by a new station half a mile to the south. This station featured a signal box and a station building on the southbound platform. It closed on 1 May 1939.[1] Nothing remains of either station.
