Full Description
{1, 2} Part of the former road out of Wakerley towards Barrowden is visible as a causeway immediately to the north of the former railway on lidar imagery. This route is shown on the early 19th-century Ordnance Survey drawing but the road had been straightened by 1885, probably when the railway was constructed (it was opened in 1879).
