The station opened on 19 June 1865 by the Sirhowy Railway after the conversion of the Sirhowy Tramroad to a standard gauge railway.[1] The station had a signal box, which was eventually destroyed.[2] Due to competition from bus services in the area, the station met its demise to passenger services on 13 June 1960, though the last train ran on the 11th.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp Goods traffic ceased on 8 February 1965.[2]

Present day

Almost nothing of the station and route currently exists. The National Cycle Network route 467 between Blackwood and Hollybush follows a lot of former trackbed of the railway.
