The Beatles steamed into a Devon train station

Fans turned out in droves to catch the Fab Four as they shot scenes for A Hard Day’s Night on board

Everywhere The Beatles went there were screaming fans, so in 1964 they headed West in search of quieter locations off the beaten track during filming for A Hard Day’s Night, their highly acclaimed big screen debut.

Regarded as a classic of the period, the musical comedy’s plot mimicked the group’s real life, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr seen charging through a busy railway station, pursued by dozens of teenage schoolgirls. Then they jumped on a train that, in the story, was transporting them to London for a TV show.
