Description

This was a single platform station with the platform on the north side of a goods loop. There were goods sidings on the south side, approached from the east.

A signal box was added in 1892. It closed as a signal box in 1917 and became a ground frame until 1949. The station closed to passengers in 1951 and the line closed in 1967.

The main station building still stands, in use as a house, now known as 'Peveryl House'. The abutments of a bridge over a road to the east still stand.
