Marlands Works was a busy industrial site for just over a century,[2] firstly on the Torrington and Marland Railway,[3] built to carry bricks and clay on a three-feet gauge, which in turn was subsumed in 1925 by the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway[4] before finally becoming part of the Southern Region of British Railways in 1948.

[5] The line closed to passenger traffic in 1965[6] as part of the Beeching[7] reforms but the line remained open for freight between Barnstaple railway station and Torrington until 1982.

[8] Today it forms part of the popular Tarka trail, although an important site for industrial railway historians[9] too.

Marland Works station was used by workmen only and was not in public passenger use.
