Opened in 1862 by the North Eastern Railway on its line from Harrogate to Pateley Bridge, the station is believed to have been situated on an embankment roughly where the houses on the left now are. It closed to passengers in 1950. The only reminders are the Public House was still called "The Station" when this image was taken, and a bridge abutment to the left of it (out of sight).
