|}}Richmond Road Halt was a minor railway station or halt in north Devon, situated fairly close to the town of Appledore, a community lying on the peninsula formed by the sea (Barnstaple Bay), the River Torridge, and the River Taw.[3]

History

The halt was opened in 1908 and the next stop on the line was Lovers' Lane Halt, followed by the terminus at Appledore, some 7½ miles from Bideford.[4] This line had until 1901 run only as far as Northam.[3]

Infrastructure

Richmond Road Halt had a simple single platform, raised one foot above rail level, with a shelter, without lighting and with a level crossing without gates.[5][6] It had no freight facilities.[7] It was situated on the left just before the crossroads with Broad Lane and the Burrows Road that used to be called Richmond Road.[8]

Micro history

The trackbed from Appledore to Richmond Road Halt and beyond was converted into a road and the station buildings were demolished.[9]
