Opened in 1883 by the Great Western Railway on the branch line from Swindon to Highworth, this station closed to passengers in 1953 and completely in 1962. View north from the former level crossing towards Hannington and Highworth. The end of the single platform was just to the right of the image. A later house has been built partially over the site, and no trace of the station apparently remains.
