Legend
|
Pullabrook Halt was a railway station opened in 1931 by the Great Western Railway to serve the hamlet of Pullabrook that lies between Bovey Tracey and Lustleigh in West Devon, England. Opened as Hawkmoor Halt after Hawkmoor Hospital, originally known as Hawkmoor County Sanatorium, a specialist hospital founded in 1913 as a pulmonary tuberculosis sanatorium.[3] It was renamed Pullabrook Halt by the British Railways Board in 1955, a few years before closure.
The halt was opened at a later date than most of the stations on the line which had itself opened in 1876. The single platform's construction was of infil behind railway sleepers. The track was single with no passing loop or sidings.
