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.

The Mall, Swindon
Terraced houses of the early 20th century at the top of the hill in Swindon. This part of town was seen as more desirable than areas close to the railway works, thus the superior spacious houses and the rather grand street name. If you lived here in the 1920's then you had 'arrived'. One of the houses in the photo was the boyhood home of Justin Hayward, famous rock guitarist and lead singer of the Moody Blues.
