History

Authorised by Parliament in August 1857 the line to Coniston was opened by the Coniston Railway less than two years later on 18 June 1859. The station was used for the shipment of slate and stone from the local quarries as well as by passengers.
The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1934 to 1939.
British Railways closed the station and the branch to passengers on 6 October 1958 and completely on 3 April 1962. The station building remains and has been converted into holiday accommodation.
