Some Buildings and Views of Swindon, Wiltshire, England

Introduction

Despite having grown from an insignificant market town to major industrial centre in a remarkably short time, and then having the heart of the new town obliterated by 1960s redevelopment, Swindon has a surprisingly large number of interesting buildings. This page illustrates a few of them, both old and new. There is a number of further buildings I hope to add to this page when I get the opportunity to visit again to take the photos. The number of pictures has grown so as to make this page over-large, so I have now set up 8 separate pages for the 8 types of building or view, linked from the list below. Use the back button on your browser to return to this page after viewing any set of pictures, or use the link back here at the end of each page of pictures.

Browser compatibility statement

I believe web pages should be accessible to all browsers, rather than surfers being browbeaten into switching to some particular browser to see a page. (How many people would be happy if popular TV programmes could only be watched with the latest model of one particular make of TV set?). I am currently going through this site trying to achieve this as far as possible, but I do not have any means of testing it with all the dozens of browsers out there. When I think I have managed it with a page I'll include this paragraph at the end and a suitable logo at the top. If you have trouble viewing any page on this site, especially a page including this paragraph, please let me know (see my contact page), and tell me what browser (name and version) and what operating system you are using, so I can try to do something about it. Thanks.
