Swanspool House is the Head Office building of the Borough Council of Wellingborough. Once a town house, it was gifted, along with its associated gardens, to the people of Wellingborough in 1919, so it is celebrating 100 years of civic use in 2019. It is a Grade II Listed Building, and the rear has a datestone of 1759. Old large scale Ordnance Survey maps consistently show it as Swan's Pool up to its transfer to the Council.
