Shaugh Bridge Platform was opened on August 21st 1907 and was finally closed to traffic on December 31st 1962. It is located at the 4 miles 79 chains point from Tavistock Junction and was managed by the Great Western Railway Company. The platform is located approx 0.5km from Shaugh Bridge itself up a quiet lane near Heleball Wood and a short distance south of Shaugh Tunnel (307 yards). The countryside platform was used convenient for visitors to the Dewerstone and surrounding woodland.

My granny used to take me to Shaugh Bridge when I was small. She had a small bungalow there and we went for weekend trips. I’ve been living in the States since 1960, I’m 72 now, but I have memories of the train line and platform, and the trip from Plymouth. So glad to run across these beautiful photos.
