It was opened on 6 March 1893 by, Robert Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury. The station had a hydraulic lift bridge which enabled a section of track to be lifted up to allow large vehicles to pass underneath. It was heavily bombed during the Liverpool Blitz.

The station closed, "along with the rest of the line on 30 December 1956." No evidence of the station remains.
