Opened in 1845 by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne & Manchester Railway, this station and the branch line from Dinting were built privately by the Duke of Norfolk. Ownership transferred later to the London and North Eastern Railway whose coat of arms is shown below. Glossop Environmental Trust undertook enhancement work to the station building and this garden, with stone copings, railings and planting, in 2005. The station is listed Grade II.
