The viewpoint is approximately the same as that used by P L Chadwick in 1983 for this photograph Image and shows the changes that have occurred in the intervening twenty-six years. The gable end at the left shows that new windows have been installed and the back of the house painted. Its chimneys have gone. The newer houses opposite stand where the Garrards factory once did. PLC's photos shows a Mini the panels for which were made in Swindon. The car nearest the viewpoint in this one is a Honda, also built in the town. A Ford Mondeo occupies almost the same bit of road that a Ford Escort did back in 1983.
