About Wellingborough - show infohide info
Wellingborough is a town in the county of Northamptonshire. It has a population of 48,428 inhabitants as of 2001. Wellingborough lies on the River Nene, with much of the town being sited on the north side of the river, above the flood plain. The town was founded in the early Saxon period. The name is formed from elements which translate, roughly, as "the town of the people of Waendel", or Waendel-ingas-burgh. Many visitors incorrectly believe that the name comes from the five wells on the outskirts of the town, which appear on the towns coat of arms. During mediaeval times, Wellingbrough wasn't a paticularly notable town. It was granted a market charter in 1201, and housed a modest monastery, which was an offshoot of the larger and better known monastery at Crowborough, 30 miles up the river. In Elizabethan times, the lord of the Manor, Sir Christopher Hatton was a sponsor of Sir Francis Drake's expeditions, which is why one of Drake's ships was named 'The Golden Hind', as this is what appeared on Hatton's ceremonial coat of arms. In modern times, little of note has occured in Wellingborough, other than economic changes which have occured across much of eastern Northamtonshire. During the 1960's and 70's, Wellingborough town centre underwent a redevelopment, and is home to an Arndale shopping centre (now renamed Swangate). The town has been involved with the boot and shoe industries, as well as some iron and steel smelting, and light industries such as chemical manufacture. British Leyland had a manufacturing plant here. Today, the town acts as a distribution centre for a number of national chains, thanks to improvements in the road network, notably the A45 which leads to both the M1 (for the M6) and the A1 (M). Wellingborough lies on the Midland Main Line between London St Pancras and Nottingham/Derby, and sees trains between London and the North, with an hourly train to Nottingham and an hourly train to Derby. Trains to London are half hourly. Nearby towns to Wellingborough include Northampton, Kettering, Bedford, Corby, Market Harborough, Rushden, St Neots, Huntingdon and Peterborough.
