Faringdon Road is one of the strategic intra-Swindon traffic routes as well as providing the main corridor into the centre of the town from the west, the direction in which we are facing. The houses at the left are relatively unusual for Victorian Swindon in that they are stone- rather than brick-built. The pub in the background is now the Bar12, formerly The Ship.
