The station was located near the Izaak Walton pub and had a substantial building and a small goods yard. It became the junction station for the Cheadle Branch Line in 1892.[2] When the latter closed to passengers, the sidings remained in occasional use for another 20 years, mainly sand traffic from Cheadle.[3]

The level crossing was converted to automatic barrier operation in 1989, whereupon the signal box was demolished and the junction was lifted.[4]

There is no trace of the station today.[3]
