The station was opened in 1853 as Woofferton by the Shrewsbury & Hereford Railway, as part of a Southern extension of the line from Ludlow to Hereford. The station became a junction (and renamed Woofferton Junction) in 1861 with the arrival of the Tenbury Railway. This line was later extended through to Bewdley as the Wyre Forest Line.

A bay platform was added to the station in 1889 for the Wyre Forest Line. Access between the platforms was via a footbridge. The station was closed in 1961 when the Wyre Forest Line was closed. The station site is now in industrial use, the goods shed as seen in the photograph below still exists.
