The station was possibly opened by the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway in January 1850, although an earlier date of 1849 is given by W. D. Tattersall in his book about the branch line. The station was a request stop until 1852. The short length original low height platform survives, as replicated at nearby Bromley Cross. It is 11+1⁄2 mi from Blackburn, and 2 miles, 438 yards distance from Bolton. The BBC&WYR was renamed the Blackburn Railway on 24 July 1851, and was amalgamated into the Lancashire and Yorkshire and East Lancashire Railways on 1 January 1858. It became wholly owned by the LYR in 1859 when the ELR amalgamated with the LYR.
