History

The station was opened on 3 July 1863 by the Great Eastern Railway. It was rebuilt in 1869 after a fire destroyed the wooden buildings. On the up side was the signal box which controlled the level crossing and three sidings which serve the goods yard on the down side. A private siding also served the nearby Standon Paper Mill. The station closed to passengers on 16 November 1964 [1] and closed to goods on 20 September 1965. [2]
