The station opened on 2 June 1852 by the Leeds Northern Railway. It was situated on the west side of West View. The station originally had one low platform although this was rebuilt along with a second platform when the line was doubled in 1901. The station had full goods yard facilities on the up side of the line, which was accessed from the south. The layout was changed when the line doubled in 1901 with three sidings, two serving a loading dock and the other serving a coal depot.

The station was closed due to the First World War on 20 September 1915 but it reopened in April 1920 with only one up train and two down trains. The station was once again closed due to the Second World War on 11 September 1939, although it never reopened.
