Fleming Way, Swindon 2008
Taken from a close approximation (slightly different to avoid the frame being filled with bus shelters) to this image from 1967 by Gordon Hatton http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/862455 the lower part of the building on the right is occupied by Debenhams, the well-known chain store. The office above, under construction in 1967, is, as far as I know, still occupied by Zurich Insurance, formerly Allied Dunbar which grew out of Hambro Life. Beyond that, the high-rise is an hotel. The traditional terraced housing visible in the background of the older image, in Princes Street, was replaced in the 1970s by an office occupied by the Benefits Agency (DHSS in old money).

Hotels, Swindon
Jurys Inn hotel is the red-brick building at the far left. At the right is the somewhat older Menzies Swindon Hotel. Just to the left of that is a Travelodge in what was once Nationwide Building Society's HQ. Just behind Jurys Inn is a building shown on the maps as 'Government Offices'. The foreground shows a temporary area of open space with newly planted grass and trees. Taken on a typical rather dull February day.

View to Carfax Street car park, Swindon
The car park looming in the background was built around 1980 plus or minus a year or two. It is now closed and is being demolished as part of the redevelopment of the area. The typically glamorous signboard in the centre shows what the area is intended to look like in a few years' time.
