History
The station opened on 1 May 1903.[1] It closed between 1 January 1917 and 2 March 1919 due to wartime economy,[1] and closed permanently to passengers and freight on 2 April 1962.[1][2] Upon closure, the nearby station Caldwell took on the name 'Uplawmoor'.
Although the station was closed to regular passengers, in 1964 the Royal Train was stabled here overnight during a visit to the area by the Queen Mother.[3]
Sidings ran to the Shillford Quarry that was located to the east of the station within Uplawmoor Wood.
