Built in 1873 when the line to Peel first opened, this station boasted its own cattle dock, siding and station building, the latter of which was made to the same design as the station building at St. John's. The station last operated in 1968, the railway's last year of operation. At the eastern end of the station, beyond the points of the passing loop, the line crossed the road to Ellerslie Depot and the stone crossing hut is all that survives of the railway infrastructure today. When the line closed, a group of lads from Merseyside removed the station nameboard and to this day it is believed to hang on the wall of the scout headquarters in the Liverpool suburb that shares it's name.
