Wansford Station EA Visitor Moorings 
Signal Box, Old Great North Road, Stibbington, PE8 6LR, United Kingdom
Wansford Station EA Visitor Moorings is on the River Nene (main river).
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.

http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1560771 is situated on the Old Great North Road, a short distance away from the A1 road at Stibbington. It is the headquarters of the Nene Valley Railway. The railway buildings were sold off when the station was closed so a new station building had to be constructed. It was opened in 1995 and houses a booking office, a shop and caf̩ as well as public toilets. The NVR are presently trying to purchase the old station building > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1560778. by Evelyn Simak Р29 October 2009">
