Another one of William H. Mills’ characteristic polychromatic stations for the GNR – yellow brick relieved with black, brown, and purple courses. Constructed to replace an earlier LER station (Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway) and to serve the mills. Unusually for the GNR, the stationmaster’s accommodation was incorporated into the station building, usually a separate residence was provided. Closed on 15 February 1965. Only the platform remains today.
