The inaugural railway station on the town's periphery began operations in 1850, succeeded by a more centrally located station introduced in 1887 by the North Eastern Railway. Following the 1923 Grouping, it became a component of the London and North Eastern Railway, transitioning to the North Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalization in 1948.

The British Railways Board shuttered the station in 1968, leading to the platforms' infill. However, the trainshed endures unaltered and functional, still serving purposes, such as housing Barter Books.
