The current building dates from 1881 replacing the original station which was located on the western side of the level crossing. That had opened in 1840 but closed seven years later due to lack of use only reopening in 1857. By the 1870s both Portslade and Aldrington's population were increasing due to development. Despite the name the station is actually located in what was Aldrington parish which was later merged with Hove, its official full name being Portslade and West Hove.
