Former Clarence Street School, Swindon (1)
The school was built in 1897 and closed as a school about ninety years later. It is now used by the local authority social services department. The more modern building in the background is also used by the local council. Opened in 1990 it is called 'Wat Tyler House' after the poll tax rebel of 1381.

Red brick school
Clarence Street was a slightly less busy street back in the day - today the four lanes of traffic rush by. But in the late 1800s, Swindon was enjoying a boom in population and the need for extra schools was apparent. In 1897, this imposing school was built for 840 older pupils and 320 infants at a cost of £12,091. It may have been coincidence but there used to be a brick and tiles works a short distance to the east of it. See Image] for the side in Euclid Street.

On Princes Street in Swindon, what looks like a former cinema now what looks like an entertainment facility.

An empire long gone
The very boring sixties building seen here on the corner of Groundwell Road and Princes Street replaced the Empire Theatre which stood on the same site when I was a child in the fifties. The junction is at the bottom of Victoria Road, a hill leading towards Old Town, and down which a tram once ran out of control and tipped over on this corner.
