Newtown Unthank

Newtown Unthank is a hamlet in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire about 6 mi west of Leicester. It is in the civil parish of Desford and about a mile northeast of the village.

Newtown Unthank was the site of Desford railway station on the Leicester and Swannington Railway, which became part of the Leicester to Burton-upon-Trent Line. The station was closed in the 20th century; the railway between Leicester and Burton-upon-Trent remains open for freight trains.
