History
The first site of the station was opened on 2 June 1845 by the Wilsontown, Morningside and Coltness Railway. It was named after Blackhall Farm, which was to the west. It closed in December 1852[1] but reopened on 19 September 1864. A branch opened in 1859 which served Shotts Iron Works. The station closed to passengers on 1 November 1893 due to the remodelling of the junction where it was situated and a signal box opened nearby. The timetable shows the station being used by surfacemen in 1923.[2]
