A Mandir is a sacred Hindu place of worship, representing the earthly home of Bhagwan. This Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Sanstha (BAPS) mandir is on Mill Road with the main entrance on Victoria Road. Its website is here https://www.baps.org/Global-Network/UK-and-Europe/Wellingborough.aspx Old Streetview images show the mandir under construction in December 2010, but open in August 2014. Old large scale Ordnance Survey maps show that it occupies the site of the former Victoria Theatre, and latterly a timber yard.
