The Wellingborough Roundhouse, a notable railway landmark, has come a step closer to being saved from unauthorised demolition after councillors voted to list it locally.
In January, Wellingborough Civic Society members highlighted the fate of the large red-brick Wellingborough Roundhouse, fearing that the building might be knocked down.
Last night, Wellingborough council Development Meeting committee members voted unanimously to locally list the roundhouse meaning that planning permission would have to be sought to demolish the building.

I get the impression that steam engine sheds were distinctly masculine places. So it is appropriate that Wellingborough shed is now owned by a company which makes safety boots.
