The crossing was formerly manned, with the house having been built as a residence for a crossing keeper. Despite being in a fairly remote location, the crossing formed part of the funerary route from the village of Eardington to the nearest church, located across the river in Quatford, accessed by a ferry<ref name="SVRA1">[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=48075#48075 SVRA Forum], accessed 18 Nov 2015</ref>. The crossing keeper operated two signals, one in each direction, to indicate to approaching trains that the crossing was clear.
At a later date after the crossing was reduced from manned status, the house was the residence of the Eardington station master<ref name="SVRA1" />. The cottage is now the home of two working SVR members<ref>From The Window, SVR publication</ref>.
