This modern residential street is a turning off Old Mill Lane, and leads up to a lane called The Planks. In the distance is a building with a tower, which was formerly the Corn Exchange. Later it became The Locarno. Since this photograph was taken, the building was badly damaged by fire. There have been plans to restore it as part of a wider development but it was reported by the BBC and the local press, in March 2009, that companies linked with the plans were in administration. Hopefully someone will restore it, as Swindon has already lost a lot of interesting buildings in this area.
