Houses on Blunsdon Road near the corner of High Street. Now incorporated into Swindon, in the early decades of the 20th century Haydon Wick was a small hamlet. There were houses in the High Street area, and farms in the surrounding fields. Roads were little more than tracks. Mains gas was first available in 1930, and electricity not until 1939.
