== History ==
Opened on 18th April [[1867]] as a single platform. A crossing loop and second platform were brought into use on 15th September [[1880]] and the section of line between the station and [[Parson Street Junction]] was doubled on 2nd December [[1883]]. The station was downgraded to a halt and became unstaffed on 29th October [[1962]]. It closed to passengers on 7th September [[1964]] and goods on 5th July [[1965]]. Between March [[1891]] and [[1910]] the station was called '''Rownham''' to avoid confusion with [[Clifton]] and [[Clifton Down]].

The original Clifton Bridge Signal Box closed on 25th August [[1907]]. It was replaced by a larger structure which closed on 4th November [[1966]].
