Steps from Stafford Street to Dixon Street, Swindon
The steps provide a short-cut between the two, quite long, streets of Victorian houses. The area lies on the hill to the south of what was once called New Town and Old Town, an appellation that persists.

Former Gilberts Hill school, Dixon Street, Swindon
The school was built in 1880 and closed as late as 2000. It was converted into flats two years later. http://archive.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/2003/7/3/151528.html In the background at the right is the late unlamented 1960s Swindon College building, now empty and awaiting demolition.

Panel (1 of 3), former Gilberts Hill school, Dixon Street, Swindon
The panel is on the front elevation of the former school which has been converted for residential use and is the leftmost of three. The inscription on the left appears to be the name of the architect but I can't make much sense of it other than the letters 'ARIBO'.

Panel (2 of 3), former Gilberts Hill school, Dixon Street, Swindon
This is the centre panel on the front elevation of the building. The former school was erected in 1880 by the Swindon School Board. This pre-dates the establishment of local government in the form we have today. Swindon didn't have a unified council until 1900 and County councils didn't arrive until later in the 1800s.
