Shackerstone is a village in Leicestershire that is home to the Shackerstone railway station, a preserved railway station and heritage museum. The station is part of the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway, a pre‑grouping railway company in the English Midlands built to serve the Leicestershire coalfield. Construction of the railway began in 1869 and the line opened in 1873, linking Moira and Coalville with Nuneaton. The railway was jointly built by the Midland Railway and the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), who agreed to construct a line on similar alignments. Today, the preserved station serves as a museum, offering insight into the region’s coalfield and railway heritage. The locality falls within the CV13 postal district and reflects a rural setting with a focus on historical preservation.
