Shenton Station
Shenton is a hamlet in Leicestershire.
It is the southern terminus of the Battlefield Line Railway, which runs to Shenton from Shackerstone. The station is located at the foot of Ambion Hill and is actually the reconstructed Humberstone Road Station from Leicester. The original station was demolished in the 1940s, except for a small lamp room that now serves as the Station Pottery.
