Houses on the east side of the street, viewed from the Station Road end. The faded, or perhaps defaced, mural was painted in 1979. It depicts a street scene outside Swindon Junction railway station at the start of the 20th century. Swindon Junction was the name of the present-day Swindon railway station from its opening in 1842 until 1961, when Swindon Town station closed.
