History
Opened by the Eastern Union Railway, then absorbed by the Great Eastern Railway, it joined the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
There were sidings on both the down and up side at the London end of the station. Those on the up side included goods sheds and handled both horticultural and seed traffics until the goods service was closed on 7 December 1964.
The station was then closed for passenger traffic by the British Railways Board on 6 November 1967.
