It was opened in 1877.[1] It later became part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway route from Birmingham to Great Yarmouth, predominantly used by holidaymakers.

The station closed with the rest of the line in 1959.[2] The station was demolished after closure and houses now cover the site.
