Swindon's largest allotment site, Pickards Field (west of Pinehurst Road) contains 193 plots. Not to be confused with Pickards Small Field (east of Pinehurst Road), a former allotment site which was sold off for housing. The picture shows the main through track looking south, with the David Murray John tower visible in the distance. Pickards Field was once part of Southbrook Farm; the former farmhouse is now a public house, the Southbrook Inn.
