The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway. The opening date is unsure but the first record of the station in Bradshaw's is in February 1854.[1] From 1862 it was also served by Great Northern Railway services on the route between Stafford and Grantham.
The station was closed by the British Transport Commission in 1958.
The platforms are still in place today[when?], although overgrown, and the station master's cottage is now a private residence. Trains on the Crewe to Derby Line still pass through the station.
