Beach Road railway station

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.
