Wick Lane is in the foreground. It is now a cycle track and footpath. Many years ago it was a minor road to the nearby village of Wanborough. The A4259 just beyond is now a dual carriageway. Back then it was just a single carriageway. The rapid growth of Swindon and the concomitant increase in traffic necessitated the dualling of the road and the construction of what is effectively an eastern bypass in the form of the A419.
