Opened in July 1850 by the Huddersfield & Sheffield Junction Railway (a satellite company of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway), the station was formerly the junction for the Holmfirth Branch Line, which opened on the same day as the main line but closed to passenger trains on 2 November 1959 and to goods traffic in May 1965.
The booking office site later became Kingdom Hall, a Jehovah's Witnesses church, which was built during one weekend in August 1985 by 2,500 volunteers.
