It was originally a terminus until 1907, when Portishead opened to the north, as well as the stations in between. The platform was later rebuilt higher than the original one and a waiting shelter was built on it. It also had an engine shed and goods sidings, one serving a gas works.^[1] The station closed on 20 May 1940.^[2]
