The station opened on 2 June 1860 on the Alford Valley Railway a year after the 16.5 miles (26.6 km) line between Kintore and Alford.[1][2]

Originally the station had one platform on the south side of the single track railway, and one siding to the west of the station.[3] By 1900 the line through the station had become a passing loop and there were two platforms connected with a footbridge, a signal box was located to the east. There were three sidings that were able to accommodate most types of goods including live stock.[4][5]

The station closed on 2 January 1950, the sidings were removed by 1960 when even the daily freight train did not call.[6][7] The line closed completely on 3 January 1966 when all services were withdrawn between Paradise Siding and Alford.[8]
