It was opened by the Midland Railway in 1856 on its Ripley branch from Little Eaton Junction (approximately 3 miles north of Derby) to Ripley. On leaving Little Eaton the line passed under the only road bridge on the line under the Coxbench Road. Coxbench station was reached in about one and a half a miles, where again there was just a single platform on the down side. There was also a bay platform for a small siding. In its heyday it was sending out about fifty 17 gallon milk churns each day.[2] At the north end was a level crossing which, being on the apex of a triangular road junction, was unusual in having three sets of gates. Approximately a quarter of a mile further on there was yet another level crossing. In the Grouping of all lines (into four main companies) in 1923 the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway . Regular passenger services finished in 1930, but the station was used to take Derby County supporters to the FA cup Final in 1946. The line remained open to Denby for coal traffic until the late twentieth century with the last coal train passing through the Station in March 1999. This is the only station on the line that retains its buildings, along with the platform. It became a private house and though it has been extended, the work has been done sympathetically.
