Abstract/Summary

MOLA Northampton carried out a programme of archaeological recording of a former rail embankment and bridge parapet located on Irthlingborough Road, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The recorded structures were of a mid-19th century date and formerly carried the loop line which connected the Northampton-Peterborough and the Midland Rail Lines. This line ceased to operate in the mid-1960s and the rail bridge over Irthlingborough Road was removed. From this time the embankments were disused and fell into disrepair.
