Cirencester, the largest town in the Cotswolds, is a market town some 15 miles south east of Gloucester and some 13 miles north west of Swindon. The town lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames and is the hub of a network of roads. It is the home of the Royal Agricultural University, founded in 1840. An important Roman settlement known as Corinium, the town, with 240 acres enclosed by walls was second only to London in size.

The ever-changing face of technology
A car park meter. Not just any old meter. Not just an electrically powered meter that prints out a ticket. It is the latest word in money transfer systems - the machine takes cash and plastic methods (hence the keypad). It won't be long before they give you a map of where you want to go and send you a text message when you're late...
