History

The first station opened on 26 June 1840 by the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway. It was very short-lived, closing one and half a months later in August 1840.[1] It was replaced by a new station half a mile to the south. This station had a signal box and a station building on the southbound platform. It closed on 1 May 1939.[2] Nothing remains of either stations.[3]
