Site of the station

Castle Donington and Shardlow railway station was a station which served the market town of Castle Donington and the village of Shardlow. Both are in Leicestershire and Derbyshire respectively.

Opened 6 December 1869 as Castle Donington station this station was renamed Castle Donington and Shardlow in 1901[1] before being closed to passengers in 1930. It was later closed to freight in 1967. It was demolished soon after.

The station was located just to the east of present day station road bridge in Castle Donington. The station 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 unload of freight and a signal box. A former inn by Station Road bridge was converted for use as the Station Master's house.
