Beach Road railway station was a minor railway station or halt/request stop in north Devon, close to Westward Ho!, serving the residents of Eastboune Terrace and the outlying areas of Westward Ho!. [4]
This was the last stop before Northam that was the terminus station on the line in 1901 [5] prior to the extension to Appledore of 1908.
Beach Road Halt had no shelter or platform. A level crossing was located nearby, however the gates were removed in 1905. [6] It had no freight facilities.
In January 1901, the first train, with one carriage, ran from Bideford to Northam carrying a few friends of the Directors. [7]
Jack Shears, who lived at Northam, was one of the trackmen who worked to maintain the permanent way. [8]
No photographs appear to exist of Beach Road Halt.
