Fleming Way, 1967
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: Unknown
The newly opened Fleming Way dual carriageway was built largely along the line of the Wilts & Berks and North Wilts canals. The open space beyond eventually became the bus station, whilst in the background is Milford Street with the three storey premises of Duck, Son and Pinker, which was the premier music shop in the town. The milk float in the foreground appears slightly blurred, presumably due to its excessive speed.
