As stated the halt, with the entrance on Bridewell Road, was named after a well known local mill where housing developments had taken place and although it officially opened on 1 November 1906 it may have had services from Wednesday 26 September when suburban service was launched. Some disagreement exists over its closure date that is variously recorded as being from the 27 June 1921, 14 September 1921 or even Sunday 4 May 1942.
