Site of Derby Road station, Loughborough

Image: © Richard Vince Taken: 28 Sep 2013

Seen from Station Avenue, this is an entrance to the site of Derby Road railway station, the London and North Western Railway's outpost in Loughborough. It was at the end of a not particularly direct branch line from Coalville, where it joined the Midland and LNWR joint line from Nuneaton. Most of the trackbed of the line through Loughborough has been converted into a footpath and cycleway, but the site of the station is largely in industrial use. The peaked roof visible on the right is that of the former goods shed.
