The odd building at the corner of Vine Street and Victoria Street in Billingborough is the old village fire station, built in 1890 and used to house a horse-drawn hand pump for the next fifty years but it was eventually phased out and retired to the county fire brigade museum. The fire station has been preserved as a curiosity although the wooden bus shelter attached to the outside wall has now been removed.
