History

The station opened in August 1849 by the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway. It replaced Roebuck, which was to the south. To the west was a siding and underneath the platforms was the River Brock. The station closed on 1 May 1939.[1][2]

Since 2012, the site of the demolished stationmaster's house and a terrace of four railway cottages has become a nature reserve protected by the Fields in Trust charity.[3]
