Meeth Halt railway station : ウィキペディア英語版 | Meeth Halt railway station
Opened in 1925, Meeth Halt was a small railway station on the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway, a private line until it became part of the Southern Region of British Railways in 1948.〔 Branch Lines to Torrington Mitchell,V & Smith,K: Midhurst, Middleton Press,1994 ISBN 1-873793-37-5〕 The line was built in part over narrow gauge line that was used from 1881 to take ball clay from claypits at Marland and Meeth to Torrington, which was until 1925 the terminus of a branch from Barnstaple. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1965〔"Discovering Britain's lost railways" Atterbury,P: Basingstoke, AA Publishing ISBN 978-0-7495-6370-7〕 as part of the Beeching proposals, but remained open for freight from the Meeth clay workings north of Meeth Halt through Torrington to Barnstaple up to 1982.〔(Freight details )〕 The station consisted of a simple short concrete platform and a stone shelter and remains as a recognisable landmark on the Tarka Trail, a very popular destination for long distance walkers and cyclists.〔(Local authority details )〕 As a result, it is in the process of a major renovation.〔(Planning application )〕 ==References== 〔
