The Halt, which was located 1 mile 37 chains from Newnham on a 1 in 54 gradient.[1]
The Halt consisted of a 153 feet long wooden platform that was at originally at "rail level".
Although the station was served by railmotor services and auto-trains which had folding steps, the platform was raised from 1 foot 2 inches to the standard height of 3 feet. This was authorised on 5 November 1908 at a cost of £423.[2]
The station opened when the passenger services were introduced in August 1907.[3]
A station building was not supplied until 1918, when a spare shelter was moved from (the recently closed) Ruddle Road Halt .
Unfortunately, the wooden platform and pagoda style station building suffered "fire damage beyond repair" in August 1933 and were subsequently replaced.[2]
