The design of the incline-keeper's house at the top of Bagworth Incline was based on that of the contemporary en:toll houses of the old British en:turnpike roads. Like many of them, it had a bay front with windows so that a look out in both directions could be kept. Although it was a grade 2 en:listed building, and probably the oldest railway building in the en:East Midlands, it was allowed to collapse into a pile of bricks.
Crossing-keeper's houses of similar design were built where the railway crossed Station Road, Glenfield, and Fosse Road, Leicester, but these were demolished in the 1970s.
