The Old Wagon-works House, Chippenham
The detached house on the corner of London Road and Phoenix Close bears the name
The Old Wagon-works House. My research found nothing relating specifically to this house.
The Wiltshire Council website does however give some general details in stating that the arrival of the railway brought engineering to the town. Rowland Brotherhood made railway wagons, locomotives and bridges and maintained track for several railway companies. The company became internationally well known. A factory was built in 1894 by Evan O’Donnell to make signalling apparatus, which, in 1903 was acquired by Saxby and Farmer, who moved into the town from Kilburn. In 1920 they merged with other companies to form the Westinghouse Brake and Saxby Signal Co. Workers from Worcester moved to Chippenham in 1920 while the London works transferred in 1932 and the office staff from London in 1973. For several decades the company was the largest employer in the town and still manufactures here although there have been recent changes of ownership and name.

April Cottage
Oddly enough, this cottage is the end home of Victoria Buildings - a large terrace. At least it has all mod cons.
