It was built originally for the personal use of a local landowner and MP, Lord Hotham, as an incentive for him to allow the railway to pass through his estates. The station closed after the last train ran on 27 November 1965[2] along with the rest of the line. The station building, platforms and signal box survive unaltered, as does the station master's house.
