Description

This was a one platform station on the single track line. There was a timber station building on the platform, on the south side of the line.

The goods yard, with a loop, and three sidings ans signal box, was to the east of the station on the south side of the line.

To the west was a level crossing with a substantial crossing keeper's cottage.

The box was not a block post and closed in 1895, replaced with a ground frame. There was a navy store alongside the station during the Second World War. The station closed to passengers in 1951 and the line closed in 1967.

The site was cleared after closure and is now partly a sewage works. Despite house building, on a site formerly used to the south of the station, the station site remains largely clear.

The crossing cottage remain standing, in use as a private house.
