On 12 October 1903, the GWR introduced a steam railmotor service along the route between Stonehouse and Chalford, serving the existing stations at Stroud and Brimscombe as well as four new stopping places, each of which was situated close to a level crossing: St Mary's Crossing, Ham Mill Crossing, Downfield Crossing and Ebley Crossing
