This view shows Fleming Way in its first phase of development. The area to the right, where the buildings of the then bus station https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3831984 can be seen, has been completely redeveloped as the Tricentre https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/881825 whilst the terraced buildings in the background have been replaced by Milford House https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/881823 . The two double-deck buses are the typical Daimler CVG6/Park Royal combination that Swindon Corporation Transport favoured in the 40s, 50s and 60s, dating from 1957 (107) and 1961 (117) respectively. No.107 displays the lighter shade of blue that the undertaking had recently adopted. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
