Heather and Ibstock railway station
Heather and Ibstock railway station is a disused railway station on the former Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway. It served the villages of Heather and Ibstock. It closed to passengers in 1931 but closed to parcel traffic in 1951. Goods continued to pass through until 1954 when the line was closed from Hugglescote to Shackerstone. The site has since been demolished and is now part of a housing estate which now occupies the entire former station site.
