History
The station was opened by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway (LD&ECR)in 1898 and closed in 1930. The line itself closing to passengers on the outbreak of WW2 in 1939.
The LD&ECR wished to extend into Sheffield using the MS&LR's lines but was rebuffed, and instead joined the Midland's line at Beighton Junction. From there it went on to join the Sheffield District Railway at Treeton Junction and thereby gain access to goods traffic in central Shefield and to the Midland Railway's Sheffield station.
