The main shopping street of Swindon's Old Town ought to be one lined with fashionable shops and specialist retailers, but like many other shopping streets it has its share of empty units. The attractive redbrick building on the left was once the town's best bookshop, whilst 4 doors further along was once Nash's sweet shop where one could linger whilst contemplating whether to spend pocket money on sherbet flying saucers or black jacks.
