Site of Skurrays motor dealers, Drove Road, Swindon
Skurrays is a long-established motor dealership who hold franchises for Vauxhall and Chevrolet. The firm relocated a few years ago to a new site in west Swindon and the site in view became empty. Recently Aldi, the German-owned budget supermarket chain, obtained planning permission to build a new store here and the site has been cleared.

Plymouth Street at its junction with Drove Road, Swindon
Plymouth Street is part of what used to be known as the New Town part of Swindon. Although New Town still appears on some maps hardly anyone uses the name in contrast to the Old Town area, south of here and on a hill where, perhaps because it has some cachet, the term is commonly heard. Just visible to the right is the recently cleared site seen in this image Image For a view along Plymouth Street see this image Image At the left is a 2006-registered Ford Transit operated by BT. The Transit is perhaps the most ubiquitous 'white van' to be seen on Britain's road. It first appeared in the mid 1960s as a replacement for the Ford Thames. I haven't checked but I believe that the Transits are built in Slough or Southampton or perhaps both.
