History

The station opened in 1871[1] when the Midland Railway opened a line from Southwell to Mansfield.

The station closed to passengers on 12 August 1929[2] when the Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area, closed to passengers. The railway replaced it with a road motor omnibus service provided in conjunction with Mansfield and District Tramways Limited connecting with the railway stations between Mansfield and Newark. Freight services continued until 25 June 1964. The station and goods shed remain as private residences.
