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]
