Comet, Unit 8 Gallagher Retail Park, Tewkesbury Road, Cheltenham
For many years Comet along with Currys/PC World have been the two leading electrical retailers in the UK. Unfortunately the economic recession coupled with the rise of on-line retailers has hit Comet badly. Coupled with various changes of ownership in recent years, with a bit of asset stripping en route, it was no surprise when early November 2012, the company suddenly went into administration. The administrators have put most of the stock on sale with varying discounts, with posters in the windows announcing that everything must go. Unless a buyer materialises, it seems that most or all the stores might be closed in a matter of days. The biggest losers in this situation are always the staff and the creditors. In this branch, which seemed to still be relatively well stocked, the staff were today having to cope with the effects of the computer system having crashed.

Church of St Lawrence, Swindon Village
The tower is dated around 1100 AD and is unusual in that it is six-sided, one of only two in the county (the other is at Osleworth, 20 miles to the south). The church was largely rebuilt during the Victorian era.

Vibixa Factory 1
Vibixa was a well known factory that used to make packaging for products like Weetabix. For many years a large portion of the factory, was hidden behind a huge hedge. It was a sad day for the employees, when the factory closed. The factory was sold to developers, and is now being demolished to make way for retail units

Grotesques, St Lawrence's Church, Swindon Village, Cheltenham
Although the church has its origins in the 12th century, these characters probably date only to the mid 19th century when the church was largely rebuilt. They are to be found on the south-eastern section of the unusual hexagonal tower.
