Thorpe Acre Village shopping centre
One convenience store, a hairdresser and the inevitable take-aways. The store was once a post office, but is so no longer. The pillar box (Browning Road | Loughborough ref. LE11 137) still retains vestiges of the Post Office sign on top.

All Saints, Thorpe Acre with Dishley
A small Victorian aisleless church has proved inadequate to serve the needs of post-WWII housing development and has been substantially enlarged in recent years. The original building was designed in 1845 by William Railton in the 'Decorated' style. Listed Grade II.
