Background
History
The station opened in February 1867, The outputs of the quarries and mine therefore had to be taken by road to the station, and the business soon failed. Around the 1930s there appears to have been an accident here involving a goods van, and for several decades the van's body lay rotting beside the road bridge.
Architecture
The station building and original platform are primarily constructed out of slate blocks from Bryn-Eglwys quarry. The platform surface is slate chippings and is edged with slate slabs. The 1990s platform extension uses concrete breeze blocks.
