History
editThe station was opened on 23 September 1875 by the Severn and Wye Railway. Behind the station was the goods yard. The layout of this was modified in 1891 to accommodate a nearby colliery that was opening. The roads nearby were modified twice to allow easier access. The station closed on 8 July 1929.[1] The only trains after this date were excursions.[2]
