The station opened in 1879 as "Old Swan & Knotty Ash". It was renamed "Knotty Ash & Stanley" in 1888, but it was always referred to locally simply as "Knotty Ash". The station nameboards read "Knotty Ash".^[6]

It closed to passengers on 7 November 1960, to general goods in 1965 and completely in 1972.^{[citation needed]}

The line through the station was used by freight trains until 1975. The tracks were lifted in early 1979.^{[citation needed]}

By 2015, the trackbed though the station site formed part of the Trans Pennine Trail.^{[citation needed]}
