Where was Brean Road Halt?

Browsing ebay (again!) and there is THIS picture of Brean Road Halt in Somerset.

Am I right in guessing it was near to where Brean Road and Wick Road cross the mainline on the outskirts of Lympsham?

As always, over to the experts.

Just found this info on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cullompton ... Brean_Road and it says "This Halt, at Lympsham on the road to Brean opened on 17 June 1929, closed 2 May 1955. It had wooden platforms." Presumably near the Brean Road/Wick Road bridge.

The grid reference/map on this web site shows the halt being north of the bridge.

On Google earth Brean road bridge still has the access in place to the north east side of the bridge. On the photograph that must be Brean road bridge in the background. There is a plate layers hut there now.
