Rolfe 2 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 alrite everyone is anyone here from wellingborough or knows of wellingborough well.... As im considering a mutual exchange with someone up that way.The street Queensway is where the house is located,its not the Queensway estate.As you pass sainsbury going into wellingborough then follow the road till you get to the duke of york pub and turn left then up the hill.Could anyone tell me what the area is like to live in, all replys will be appreiciated as i dont want to make a big mistake as i have 3 young children and a quiet life is my priority now.Cheers everyone It used to be quite a rough area for want of a better word........but in honesty it is a few years since i have been there for any length of time. I only live about 10 miles away and knew the area quite well. Can you not check the place out first and quiz a few locals. Sorry to be so downbeat.......but i hope things work out for you. Rolfe.

gnasher16 29,948 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I used to frequent higham ferrers a few years back which is just up the road...i thought wellingborough was quite a nice place myself...it was clean,predominantly white,nice little shopping centre,it was a few minutes from the a45 if i remember right so nicely located to get around....i suppose it depends what your used to,i was living in the middle of london at the time so it seemed like heaven....

Tis TM 8 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 My Nan used to live in Winstanley Road in Wellingborough, only a 10 minute walk from the town... I thought it was a bit rough It was a few years ago now, and I'm a through and through country gal, so any bit of tarmac and cement is a shock for me P.S.... was it the Arndale Shopping centre there?.... I'd never seen such a big shop's place (I have lived a bit since then though ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
