The before picture of 25 years ago would be far more interesting. Note the brick retaining wall. This was the works boundary and I am standing in what was A Shop of Swindon Works closed in 1986. It was here that many locomotives were built over the years. This was a massive place and employed many. I wonder if many of the people who live here now know about the history of the past.
