Castle Donington and Shardlow railway station
Castle Donington and Shardlow railway station served the market town of Castle Donington, Leicestershire and the village of Shardlow, Derbyshire.
Site of the station
Opened 6 December 1869 as Castle Donington, it was renamed Castle Donington and Shardlow in 1901[1] before being closed to passengers in 1930. It was closed to freight in 1967 and was demolished soon after.
The station, located just to the east of the present day station road bridge in Castle Donington, comprised two platforms with a small building on the south side and a small shelter on the north side. There were also some sidings, a small building for loading and unloading of freight and a signal box. A former inn by Station Road bridge was converted for use as the Station Master's house.
