I suppose this is a replacement for White City station, which
closed following a fire in 1959.

Not quite. The H&CR station entitled White City was closed after
WWII ended, apparently due to bomb damage.

The H&CR station closed in 1959, 14 years after WW2 ended. According to
Hywel Williams's site[1], closure followed a fire on one of the wooden
platforms.
