Cornborough railway station was a minor railway station or halt/request stop in north Devon, close to Westward Ho!, serving holiday makers visiting the cliff walks and nearby beach.[1] It lay 3 miles and 30 chains from Bideford Quay.[2]
History
As stated, the halt was built to serve passengers aiming to walk on the Torrs, etc. It was in a very exposed area and trains were often reduced to a snail's pace due to high winds in winter.[3]
Infrastructure
Cornborough Cliffs Halt had a platform, but no shelter and was sited on the up side of the line next to the footpath at the waters edge. The line ran through rock cut cuttings up to this point.[3] No sidings or freight facilities were provided.[4] It was situated 3 miles and 30 chains from Bideford Quay.[2]
Micro history
In January 1901, the first train, with one carriage, ran from Bideford to Northam carrying a few friends of the Directors.[5]
