Swindon has quite a tradition for murals. This is one of the latest. Created by local artist Sarah Harris, the work shows from left, Christ Church, a mid-Victorian Gothic revival church, pigs being taken up the hill to the local livestock market that served the local community until the late 20th century, the Domesday Book in which Swindon gets a mention, the tram network that served Swindon into the inter-war years, and the legend of the Moonrakers (more strictly a Wiltshire rather than Swindon myth).
