Wellingborough - station platform

The buildings of Wellingborough Station date from 1857 and are attributed to the architect, C. H. Driver. Since this photo was taken (1999), the colour scheme has changed and the footbridge (the steps of which are just visible at the extreme left of the photo) has been replaced. For a view of the exterior of the station, please see Alan Murray-Rust's SP9068 : Wellingborough Station, detail.

Wellingborough railway station, Northamptonshire, 2013

Opened in 1857 by the Midland Railway on the line from Bedford to Leicester. View north towards Finedon and Leicester. The two former platforms to the right were hidden by a fence at the time this image was taken. They were reopened for public use 8 years after this image was taken, the footbridge extended and all four lines electrified. See SP9068 : Wellingborough railway station, Northamptonshire for a 2021 view from a similar camera position.

Not much longer for this world?

Derelict building at the entrance to Wellingborough station car park. Remarkably, it was still there in 2021 in much the same state!

Public bridleway towards Finedon north east of Wellingborough

Descending from Bush Bridge to parallel the Midland Main Line for a short distance before bearing slightly north. This part of the Midland Main Line has only been electrified in the last few years, hence the nice and shiny overhead line equipment. The work also involved reinstatement of the fourth track here.

Bush Bridge, north east of Wellingborough

Carrying a public bridleway across the Midland Main Line. The bridge was rebuilt a few years ago in preparation for the electrification of the railway, hence the high parapets; it has already acquired a fair covering of graffiti despite its rather out of the way location.
