Shop and alley, Kingshill Road, Swindon
The shop used to be run by W W Nichols but has been closed for several years. I seem to recall that the family had several shops like this in the town but, like many others, they probably ceased trading with the rise of supermarket meat counters. The alley runs parallel with Grosvenor Road Image A fellow contributor with roots in Swindon advises that this shop was in business at around the time of the second world war.

Kingshill Road - western end
The group of houses seen here were all built in the 1920's by Edwin Blake builders, who were based at Rushey Platt House [the end of which just appears on the extreme left]. The houses were erected in part of the extensive gardens of the house and were mainly sold or rented out to relatives. The builders yard was situated between the main house and the canal with further gardens to the rear - now occupied by roads and dwellings in Erin Court.
