Preston, Devon

Preston is a suburb located in the northern part of Paignton in Devon. Preston has a red sandy beach and is a popular destination for family holidays. Preston had a railway station called Preston Platform briefly between 1911 and 1914. The entrance to the platform (now bricked up with grey breeze blocks) can be found on the footpath that runs in a northerly direction below the railway bridge at the bottom of Seaway Road. Preston Platform was the only halt ever built between the Torquay and Paignton railway stations.
