Oxford House, Victoria Road, Swindon
Once an attractive villa-style house; will it ever find someone willing to return it to condition or will it continue to decay?

Victoria Road
One of the three major roads that link the old and new towns of Swindon, the others being Drove Road and Kingshill Road. The name suggests a late 19th century development as the then two separate communities at the top and bottom of the hill became linked, actually becoming the Borough of Swindon in November 1900. Before the construction of Victoria Road, the main link was via a country lane, Eastcott Hill, some 300m to the west. The photographer still remembers the days when he could cycle up this hill at a fair speed on his 10 speed racer [a very long time ago].

The Castle Inn, North Street, Swindon
A typical Old Town pub. The photographer spent many a happy hour in his youth here when there was a popular folk music club every Sunday evening. Paul Simon performed here in 1965 as did Julie Felix, Al Stewart and many others of varying degrees of fame.

A view along South Street, Swindon
This is a view looking east north east. South Street is in Old Town, up the hill from the 19th century New Town (although no-one calls it that nowadays) development of which started with the arrival of Brunel's Great Western Railway.

This advertising hoarding is many years old. Presumably the property to which is attached was a shop once.
