Opened on the 3rd of August 1869. Closed to passengers on the 9th September 1963 and goods on the 1st July 1964. From the 14th April 1901 the station became a junction for the Wrington Vale Light Railway at which time a second platform and a loop line were added.

The view from Congresbury under the A370 Bristol-WSM road towards Yatton. Once the line was closed this bridge, which had a span of 23' 6", was removed and the road now crosses the route on the level.

Looking in the same direction on the 10.10.05. A carpet of ivy covers everything in sight, but the platforms are still intact fourty odd years after they last saw any passengers.

Doing a 180 and my little 'un is standing on the platform and performing a 'show' for the missus.
