Opened in 1852 by the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company, later part of the Great Western Railway, as the terminus of its Western Valleys lines from Ebbw Vale and Blaina. It replaced an earlier station at Courtybella. This station closed to passengers in 1880 when services were transferred to the current High Street station, and completely in the 1960s. View south from the B4237. As can be seen the area has been completely redeveloped but until the 1960s, this was a mass of railway lines and goods sheds.
