Wellingborough Railway Bridge (disused)
Address is taken from a point 224 yards away.
Wellingborough Railway Bridge (disused) carries a farm track over the River Nene (main river) a few miles from Southworth.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

There is a bridge here which takes a disused railway over the canal.

![Victoria Mills, Little Irchester. The mills were founded in 1886 by the Whitworth family and are still run by the firm. Principal products are fine flours for the bakery trade.The location was clearly originally chosen because of the available water power from the River Nene, as well as the fact that the river is navigable at this point. The remains of a jetty in front of the old part of the mill can just be seen in the following picture [[27287]].The area opposite the mills is a small public park. by Alan Murray-Rust – 21 August 2007](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/53/83/538338_c371df29_120x120.jpg)
