History

[edit]

The station opened on 1 June 1865 by the Llanelly Railway. It was situated on the north side of the line west of the level crossing. There was a siding and a small goods yard east of the level crossing. The station closed along with the line on 6 September 1963.[1] A few station buildings, the platform and one of the level crossing gates survive.[2][3]
