Another spot-on-the-rails "town"" sourced only to Durham's placenames book. I was able to at least verify the existence of a station from a closure request in the early 1940s, but nothing else. Paradise has sprawled considerably over the years, and the apparent possible locations (south from Magalia) have been overrun by development; there's no sign of such a place on the oldest topo I could find, which was in the 1950s. At this point my reading is that this was a flag stop and not a real town. Mangoe (talk) 03:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
