Opened in 1920, it saw only occasional use each year as it was constructed as an alternative station for use when Chudleigh was flooded by the River Teign, this being a recurring seasonal problem.
It was on the north side of the single track line and was connected to nearby Pottery Lane by a raised wooden gangway with white painted hand rails.
[3] Film of the Teign Valley line dating from 1958 shows the Chudleigh Flood Platform station still present with the hand rails painted white.
Trains from Exeter terminated at the short platform and passengers, as previously stated, were transferred to Heathfield Station by bus.
In Great Western Railway days an ongoing arrangement with the Devon General Omnibus Company was in place to transport the passengers.
