Kirkdale Road, South Wigston
The road is typical of the older ones in South Wigston, which only started to develop as a place of any size in the 1880's. This was mainly due to the activities of Orson Wright, who saw the potential of the area for industry and housing. Since then a lot, but not all, of the industry has gone, and like most places there have been many changes.

Wigston South railway station (site), Leicestershire
Opened in 1840 on what became the Midland Railway's line from Leicester to Rugby, this station closed to passengers in 1962 and completely in 1966. All traces of the line have been removed.
View north east towards Leicester. As rebuilt in 1890 with 'staggered' platforms, the camera position is where the southbound platform was located. The line crossed the road straight ahead on a level crossing, and the northbound platform was where the left-hand side of the modern buildings are.
