The old Belfast and County Down line to Donaghadee crossed the Millisle Road under a bridge (removed in the late 1970s) where there was a station called Millisle Road halt (only 65 chains from Donaghadee station Image). After that the line ran through this cutting (now overgrown but marked by the two lines of trees (upper middle)) before reaching here Image This is the north eastern side of the level crossing looking towards what was the terminus. The line closed in 1950.
