Not yet three o'clock on a January afternoon, but the shadows are already creeping up the side of Victoria Road, one of the main streets in Old Swindon.. Interestingly, the road behind this block, much narrower, much shorter and much less imposing, is Albert Street. I guess he had to get a mention, but status was everything in those days.
