Description
This was a two platform station with the northern part of the platforms partly over Station Road.
The approach to the northbound platform was by a beautiful sweeping curved stone staircase which remains, although bricked off.
There was a compact goods yard on the west side, approached by reversing from the north. The signal box was on the east side of the line opposite the goods yard.
The box closed in 1965 and station in 1967. The railway remains open here.
