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.
A level crossing was located nearby, however the gates were removed in 1905.
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.
