Opened in 1850 on the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway's line from Blackburn to Hellifield, this station closed to passengers in 1956. It was rebuilt and reopened in 1994. View south west towards Wilpshire and Blackburn. The original station platforms were opposite each other at this point. The new houses on the left appear to have blocked the rebuilding of the southbound platform in its original position, hence the need for it be resited.
