Description
This was a two platform station. The station building, two storeys with crow stepped gables, remains as a house on the former down platform as does a railwayman's cottage by the level crossing. The goods yard was to the south, on the west (down) side of the line, with a refuge siding on the up side.
The signal box was closed in 1985 when the level crossing was automated and up siding lifted.
