Sited about a mile from the village's of Awre and Blakeny, the station here was opened along with the South Wales line from Gloucester to Chepstow. Its name varied over the years, with Awre for Blakeny being the usual, however Awre Junction was used at one point. It became a junction with the opening of the Forest of Dean Central Railway in 1868
The station had 2 short platforms that were sited directly south of the level crossing. The actual junction for the Forest of Dean Central Railway was just north of the level crossing. After the closer of Awre and Blakeny, the coal depot on this site continued to operate until it to was closed on the 11th of September 1961.
The only remains of the site is the now derelict signal box, just north of the level crossing.
