Seeing this relatively new and quite large building comes as a shock to an aged Swindonian more used to seeing a group of rather tatty and inadequate concrete huts on this site, which served for many decades as the 'temporary' library buildings. Maybe one day the town will get around to restoring its two other eyesores, the Corn Exchange building in the old town and the Mechanics Institute in the railway village.
