Several sources claim the station was only ever to be temporary.The station location is not precisely known, it has been described as being: "...by a Junction with the Mumps Extension of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at or near Mumps Mill." (Italics and capitalisation in original). "...presumably adjacent to the LYR station." "...with the Oldham Branch of the London and North Western Railway, at or near their Oldham station, at a place called Mumps,..." "...their existing terminus at Oldham Mumps..." "...this branch terminated at a station adjacent to the L&Y at Oldham Mumps." "...adjacent to the L&Y's Mumps station."Hooper (1991) states that "there was a junction with the L&Y and a one road engine shed was erected for the engine that would work the branch, with a turntable completing the facilities".The station became a through station on 1 July 1862 when it was connected to the Oldham, Ashton and Guide Bridge Railway at Oldham Clegg Street over jointly owned tracks.The station closed on 1 November 1862, when it was replaced by Oldham Glodwick Road.
