The mural is the work of the celebrated locally-based but internationally-known artist, Ken White http://www.kenwhitemurals.co.uk/home/ It depicts the Golden Lion Bridge which once carried people over the long-gone (from here) Wilts and Berks Canal. The original bridge was here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/622406 Arguably Ken White's best-known work is the 'Scarlet Lady' to be found on Virgin Airlines planes such as this one photographed by Janet Lute http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/609040 The construction workers in the image are altering the road layout hereabouts as part of the regeneration of this part of Swindon.
