Fleming Way in the foreground is one of the main routes through Swindon. It lies on the line of an old canal. The roundabout where once stood a bridge over the canal can be seen at the left. Jurys Inn is a brand-new hotel built on the site of a car showroom, which it had been for many years. Successive dealers starting with a company called Preaters held the Ford franchise. The rather grim low-rise building alongside the hotel contains government offices. The hoardings to the right shield the site of a former police station.
