Station Name: NARBOROUGH & PENTNEY7c.jpg)
Narborough station entrance in November 1975. The first room on the right was the booking office/station master's office. The bay window would have given a good view of the level crossing and signal box.

The goods service was withdrawn on 13 July 1964 and the shed has now found a new industrial use. The two openings have been bricked up. That nearest the camera was for a siding which ran through the shed, the other opening was for road vehicles loading or unloading.

The up platform and track-bed at Narborough and Pentney station had become garden in this 28 July 2010 image. The platform canopy is a feature and clearly in good order.

 Narborough station building in March 2018, in use as a dwelling. The level crossing gates were removed before 1975 and a picket fence erected: a gate-like fence has now replaced the earlier barrier. The platform canopy can be seen, intact, in the background.

Both platforms were intact at Narborough station in March 2018. This view is from the road beside the site of the level crossing. There was a signal box on the platform at the right hand side of the image; no trace remained.

Narborough station entrance in March 2018. Although the building has been modernised it is still easily recognisable. It has been re-roofed and the original diamond pattern tiles have gone. The windows have presumably been replaced but the leading is very similar to the original pattern.
