The Collywell Bay Branch Line was constructed in the early part of the 20th century to serve a station at Collywell Bay. Although the line was built, the Collywell Bay Station did not open and the branch line was abandoned in 1931. It was intended that the line would promote Seaton Sluice as a resort. This parapet is one of two remaining parapets of the now demolished bridge over Hartley Road which lies half a mile south of the former Collywell Bay Station.
