A mysterious mark, London Street, Swindon
According to the 1900 Ordnance Survey map there is a bench mark at 327.8 feet above 'the assumed Mean Level of the Sea at Liverpool which is 0.650 of a Foot below the general Mean Level of the Sea' at this location. However, this doesn't look like any other bench mark I've seen and is more likely to be a mason's mark. It can be seen in context here Image

London Street, Swindon
The possible cut mark (or bench mark) seen close up here Image is visible just this side of the doorway in the first course of the stonework beneath the cill. The building is part of what was once the Great Western Railway's main factory established by I K Brunel in the mid 19th century. I think this was the carriage and wagon works.

Oxford Street, Swindon
The street is in the eastern part of what is known locally as the Railway Village. The estate of workers' cottages was built in the mid 1800s for the specific purpose of housing workers in Brunel's Great Western Railway factory. The estate was quite run down by the 1970s when what was then the British Rail Property Board sold it lock, stock and barrel to the local council who embarked on a comprehensive programme of repair and improvement on completion of which the houses passed into their housing stock. The properties in the estate are all listed for example http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=318792 The small tree is looking splendid in its autumn colours.
