History
The station was opened by the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway (BBC&WYR) in January 1850,[1] and was 11 1⁄2 mi (18.5 km) from Blackburn.[2] The BBC&WYR was renamed the Blackburn Railway on 24 July 1851,[3] and it was amalgamated jointly into the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR) and the East Lancashire Railway (ELR) on 1 January 1858;[4] it duly became wholly owned by the LYR in 1859 when the latter amalgamated with the ELR.[5]
The station was closed on 6 November 1950.[1]
