The station opened on 1 February 1943, to serve nearby military establishments: a Royal Ordnance Factory at Risley, and a Royal Navy training camp.^[3] A single-track private railway left the Wigan line just to the East of Newchurch Halt, and ran South, across a staffed level crossing at Silver Lane and eventually into the Royal Ordnance Factory.^[4]

The station closed on 2 November 1964, when passenger services were withdrawn from the Wigan line.^[4][5]
