The flowerbed is sponsored by Blackhorse Contractors, Cricklade Sportsmen's Association and the Swindon and Cricklade Railway. The semaphore railway signal acts as a memorial to the Midland and South Western Junction Railway (M&SWJR) which once the town at this point. The railway crossed Purton Road over an overbridge which has long since been removed. The town's railway station was about 250 metres behind the viewpoint. The B4040 road to Malmesbury follows the route of the line for a few hundred metres. The signal can be seen closer up here Image
