The grade II listed station building, opened in 1849 but closed to passengers in 1964. Since then, all of the sidings, control boxes and other railway infrastructure that were once at the station have been removed; the site now being used for housing. The station building itself has been kept in a reasonably good condition, after being used as offices by various companies. However, it remains on the Heritage At Risk Register. Occasionally, trains do pass the station - usually quarry freight trains, but sometimes steam trains on one-off heritage journeys Image
