The first station was opened in 1870 after several boats had been wrecked in the area. The boathouse cost £175 to build. The station was rebuilt in 1892 and a slipway provided.

Pengilly retired in 1929 after 54 years of service to the RNLI; he was succeeded as coxswain by Alfred Braund. Coxswain Braund was succeeded in 1932 by J. J.
