The station was originally intended for transatlantic passengers, though the dock became a centre for timber trading.[1] It was opened on 6 March 1893 by the Marquis of Salisbury. During the December 1940 Liverpool Blitz the station received heavy damage, including a direct hit to track close to the station.[1]

The line and station closed on 30 December 1956, being demolished a year later. Nothing remains of the station.[2]
