Until the late 1960s Wick Lane was a minor road between the Marlborough Road and Ermin Street (or Ermin Way). At that time the area was taken over by Swindon Borough Council for the next phase in its expansion called the South Dorcan Extension. the extension was developed over the following 15 years or so. At the same time Wick Lane became redundant as a highway with the building of the A419 dual carriageway and is now a footpath and cycleway through housing on the eastern side of the developed area. This is a view looking south.
