Rolleston Street 1968
A view down Rolleston Street in the centre of Swindon in the late sixties when the further education college was being expanded with a new wing across the bottom end of the street. The 'new' college didn't last all that long as it was demolished by 2012 in favour of a new site to the north of the railway. On the extreme right is a corner of a chapel, built in 1882 as the Rehoboth Baptist Chapel, and as far as I know, the building still exists. The top half of a Triumph Herald estate car is nearest the camera with a Mini to its left.

A view down Prospect Hill, Swindon
This north-west facing image, taken on a quiet Saturday afternoon, shows the Beehive pub (the cream coloured building on the left complete with hanging baskets) and houses in Rolleston Street in the centre of the image. The road just visible at the bottom right is Cross Street. In the far distance above Rolleston Street is a glimpse of the upper Thames valley over the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border.

Former Swindon College, Regent Circus, Swindon 06.05.12
With luck this view will change for the better when the old 1960s college building is demolished and the site redeveloped. The Beehive pub is, thankfully, still open.
