The station operated between 1881 and 1915.[5] Located at the southern tip of Barrow Island alongside Ramsden Dock it primarily served the adjacent Walney Channel passenger ferry terminal.[6] It was accessible by Ramsden Dock Road and the Barrow-in-Furness Tramway.
The station building was demolished in the 1940s, while the rail line leading to it was completely removed in the 1990s. No evidence of either remain and a windfarm operations centre has been built on the site.
