Looking along Sheppard Street towards the brown slab of redundant offices which still towers above Swindon Station. The subject of many pictures, mostly uncomplimentary, this place seems to have been getting into a state for years. Image from nine years ago shows the boarding up process had started back then. It's got a lot worse. Surrounded by buildings which are over 100 years older and still looking good, Signal Point is a bit of a sorry sight.
