Some photos of Shepshed taken last October.
 |
| Forest Street at its junction with Kirkhill (left), Fairway Road (centre) and Leicester Road (to the right, outside the frame), as seen from a passing bus. |
 |
| Kirkhill, looking east uphill. |
 |
| The Millennium Clock, Bull Ring. |
 |
| Hall Croft as seen from the Co-op store. |
 |
| Field Street as seen from the Bull Ring. |
 |
| Charnwood Road Baptist Church. |
 |
| Shepshed Fire Station. This building also formerly contained the police station, which was closed some years ago. |
 |
| Charnwood Road, looking toward the Bull Ring from adjacent to the fire station. |
 |
| Looking the other way up Charnwood Road; on the left is the Asda branch in Shepshed. |
 |
| The Shepshed Asda. |
 |
| Looking toward the Bull Ring from the opposite side of the road. |

| The Bull Ring. |
 |
| Queen Street. Shepshed's terrain seems to be peculiarly hilly compared to Loughborough (although there is a fairly large hill close to my own house.) |
 |
| The alarmingly narrow Church Side. |
 |
| St. Botolph's Church, built in the 11th century and the westernmost parish church with this name. |
 |
| If you thought Queen Street was steep, then how about Church Street? |
 |
| Shepshed Market Place, seen from the southern end. Unlike Loughborough's Market Place, which was pedestrianised before I can remember, Shepshed's is still mostly a car park, although that could change in the next few years. In the background is Brook Street. |
 |
| Cheapside (left), looking toward Market Place and Brook Street. |
 |
| Cheapside, looking north. |
 |
| Brook Street, looking north from Cheapside. I don't really remember seeing any brooks in Shepshed other than one tiny one on Lambert Avenue adjacent to Glenmore Park. I suppose any brooks within Shepshed must be even more well hidden than the Wood Brook in Loughborough town centre! |
 |
| Cheapside (left) and Brook Street (right). |
 |
| Cheapside. The shop closest to the left is probably quite peculiar: it sells guns! There also used to be a model railway shop on Hall Croft (F & S Kirk) that I fancied visiting someday, but it seems to have closed down. |
 |
| The bottom end of Church Street; Hall Croft is on the right. |
 |
| Hall Croft, looking south. |
 |
| Newer shops on Hall Croft, built around 2018 along with the houses on Britannia Street behind them. |
 |
| Hall Croft, looking towards the library. |
