History
editThe station was opened on 12 May 1873 by the Llynvi and Ogmore Railway. It was also known as Black Mill in Bradshaw until 1896. The service to Gilfach Goch stopped on 22 September 1930 and the line, as well as the station, lost a lot of its traffic, thus the station closed to passengers on 5 May 1958[1] and closed to goods on 27 March 1961.[2]
