The line to Hadleigh opened in 1847 and closed to passenger traffic in 1932, with freight services lingering on until 1965. Intermediate stations were at Capel and Raydon.
The station building still stands and is in use as a private residence.
A proposal to extend services by building a light railway between Hadleigh and Long Melford was reported in the Haverhill Echo[2] on March 10, 1900, but this wasn't built.
