 In 1880, Cowans Sheldon & Company of Carlisle enlarged the water tank on the up platform.By 1893, the island platform was relocated to a more northerly position where a single-storey timber building with brick chimneys, a slate roof and cantilevered valances supported by iron columns was constructed.As a result of the Beeching cuts, the railway line beyond Keswick to Cockermouth and Workington, was closed on 18 April 1966.
