Whitwick railway station served the village of Whitwick, Leicestershire, England. It was built by the Charnwood Forest Company, serving the Charnwood Forest Railway, and was officially opened with the rest of the completed line on 16 April 1883. Following the closure of passenger traffic (aside from a few specials and other organised events) in 1931, the station building became a blacksmiths. Following total line closure in 1963, the history of the building is more difficult to chart. However, it is apparent that the waiting rooms and other facilities on platform level were demolished. In the mid-1970s the Whitwick Historical Group was created, with the old station building becoming their home.

  • Whitwick railway station served the village of Whitwick, Leicestershire, England. It was built by the Charnwood Forest Company, serving the Charnwood Forest Railway, and was officially opened with the rest of the completed line on 16 April 1883. Following the closure of passenger traffic (aside from a few specials and other organised events) in 1931, the station building became a blacksmiths. Following total line closure in 1963, the history of the building is more difficult to chart. However, it is apparent that the waiting rooms and other facilities on platform level were demolished. In the mid-1970s the Whitwick Historical Group was created, with the old station building becoming their home. The building is situated close to the village's Market Place, which is essentially the centre of the village, on North Street. The trackbed between Coalville (starting at Morrisons) and Whitwick (terminating just past Whitwick Station) has been turned into a public right of way. This passes the station building and the remains of the platform which is intact, but overgrown and unkempt. The original staircase which gave passengers access from the road above to the platform was kept in use until the 1990s, however following persistent vandalism and worries over the structure's safety, it was demolished, leaving only the landing at the road entrance.

O edifício está situado perto da Praça do Mercado da vila, que é essencialmente o centro da vila, na Rua Norte. A pista entre Coalville (começando em Morrisons) e Whitwick (terminando logo após a Estação Whitwick) foi transformada em uma via pública de passagem. Isso passa pelo prédio da estação e pelos restos da plataforma que está intacta, mas coberta de mato e descuidada. A escadaria original que dava acesso aos passageiros da estrada acima à plataforma manteve-se em uso até a década de 1990, porém após persistentes vandalismos e preocupações com a segurança da estrutura, foi demolida, restando apenas o patamar na entrada da estrada.
