West portal of the Glenfield Tunnel
When it opened in 1832, the Glenfield Tunnel was the longest steam railway tunnel in the world. It is just over one mile long and was designed by the railway engineer George Stephenson. It formed part of the Leicester and Swannington Railway. When the railway closed in the 1960s, the redundant tunnel was bought by Leicester City Council for £5. In 2008 the tunnel underwent a £500,000 retrofit to install strengthening rings to prevent a collapse of the tunnel shaft. This is the western portal of the tunnel, located at the end of Stephenson Court.

Parish boundary stone next to Championship Way
A boundary stone is marked here on 19th century maps. The roads have been remodelled somewhat since then and the stone may have been re-sited but it is still on or close to its original position.
