The station served the villages of Blencow (or Blencowe) and Newbiggin. The station opened to passenger traffic on 2 January 1865, and closed on 3 March 1952. It reopened temporarily on 2 July 1956 before closing permanently on 6 March 1972. Although called Blencow the station was actually situated on the edge of Newbiggin and was over 2 mi from Blencow.
