Shopping parade, Victoria Road
Row of shops at the top of Victoria Road, a major artery linking the old and new towns in Swindon. Hickmans is a long established local electrical retailer, whilst to the right was once an ironmongers and DIY store known as Handys where one could buy anything from a candle to a cupboard door, and receive free advice over the counter. Now defunct due to the rise of the DIY superstore.

A simple plaque
Swindon lays claim to the evocative works of a local writer, Richard Jefferies. He was born in Coates in 1848 and wrote many books that were founded on his upbringing on a farm. He suffered from tuberculosis and had to move home on several occasions. The plaque records that he lived here from 1875-7, some twelve years before his death at the age of thirty-eight.

Victoria Road, Swindon
Not yet three o'clock on a January afternoon, but the shadows are already creeping up the side of Victoria Road, one of the main streets in Old Swindon..
Interestingly, the road behind this block, much narrower, much shorter and much less imposing, is Albert Street. I guess he had to get a mention, but status was everything in those days.
