Dewell Mews
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 26 Sep 2022
A development of residential properties on a site which was once a livestock market, the clue being the small statue of a sheep at the entrance. Market days were on Monday and the livestock market was one reason why what is now Old Town developed as the original Swindon, which loosely translates as 'pigs on the hill'. Somewhere here by the old market entrance was a small shop where one could buy a chocolate bar for 4d.
