About

Central Wellingborough forms the historic and commercial core of the town. The area is centred around the market place, with retail premises lining the main streets of Midland Road and Sheep Street. It contains the majority of the town's shopping facilities, civic buildings, and service outlets. Residential streets with Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing extend outwards from this central zone.

The area includes the railway station, providing a direct link to London. A notable local feature is the Swanspool Gardens, a formal public park with a large spring-fed lake.
