History
The station was opened on 31 May 1847 in a remote location and was therefore little used. The western platform was accessed by a pathway down from Ringley Road; the eastern platform was accessed by a subway at the southern end of the station. In 1879, it was the location of the apparent suicide of a collier who had been in the custody of a police officer for assaulting his wife. The collier had jumped in front of an approaching train and was crushed to death, almost dragging the officer along with him. A later inquest in Salford returned an open verdict. It was closed on 5 January 1953.
The site today
The Outwood Trail passes through the station on the old trackbed, forming part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail. One platform remains extant.
