A view down Rolleston Street in the centre of Swindon in the late sixties when the further education college was being expanded with a new wing across the bottom end of the street. The 'new' college didn't last all that long as it was demolished by 2012 in favour of a new site to the north of the railway. On the extreme right is a corner of a chapel, built in 1882 as the Rehoboth Baptist Chapel, and as far as I know, the building still exists. The top half of a Triumph Herald estate car is nearest the camera with a Mini to its left.
