Opened 17th October 1879; closed 2nd November 1964. Sited on a high embankment it had 2 platforms with wooden shelter on either side.
Closure to freight came in March 1957 and passenger services coming to end on the night of 26th October 1960 due to a runaway barge colliding with the bridge and destroying 2 of the impressive spans. Official closure however was not until 1964. Although in a derelict state, much of the platforms still survive, although the track has long been removed.
