The halt was at the top of the embankment with steps leading down to ground level. Constructed and opened in 1914, for access to the golf club and course it was suspended 4 years later and a post war economy measure but reinstated shortly after as a result of the increasing number of holiday makers visiting the area. The area where the halt was situated has changed greatly in the years since its closure in 1970. Residential redevelopment led to the removal of the bridge and embankment, leaving no trace of the former halt. A halt was not a station with facilities, but a platform for passengers to board and alight by request.
