The superb Wellingborough Station signal box sits between the fast and slow lines to the northern end of the station. It was a Midland Type 2b box opened in 1893 replacing an earlier structure the other side of the fast lines to my left. The box survived until 05.12.87 when signalling was passed to Leicester PSB. By a complete irony, this was the same week that I attended an interview in Wellingborough for a job that I secured, a day that shaped the next forty years or so of my life with me moving to Northamptonshire from my beloved Wiltshire.
