Jurassic limestone, Quarry Wildlife Garden, The Quarries, Swindon
Up to about the end of the 19th century an area of about 9 hectares in this part of Old Swindon had been used for hundreds of years as a quarry for Purbeck limestone. It is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The layer of sand deposits visible under the limestone is now home to a large member of the weasel family.

Richard Webb Mews, Commonweal School, Swindon
The mews isn't a row of houses; it appears to be simply the southern end of the school building. I understand the name is that of a late benefactor.

The woodwork room
The wooden buildings at one end of Commonweal School once comprised 2 or 3 classrooms and the woodwork room, which is the gable ended building here. Some 60 years ago [and more] those pupils of the former Grammar School who were considered not good enough for Latin classes [including this contributor] were sent out here to make things out of wood, not all creations being works of art. To the left, at a corner of the main building, were the boys changing rooms and showers, where the water varied wildly between boiling hot and freezing cold.
