History

This was the last stop before Northam that was the terminus station on the line in 1901[2] prior to the extension to Appledore of 1908.

Infrastructure

Beach Road Halt had no shelter or platform. A level crossing was located nearby, however the gates were removed in 1905.[3] It had no freight facilities.

Micro history

In January 1901, the first train, with one carriage, ran from Bideford to Northam carrying a few friends of the Directors.[4]

Jack Shears, who lived at Northam, was one of the trackmen who worked to maintain the permanent way.[5]

No photographs appear to exist of Beach Road Halt.
