The canal fell into disuse about 100 years ago. This view is along the line of the route facing north-east. Ahead is Milton Road bridge hidden by the tree. The silver building is the David Murray John tower. The car at the right is in the back yard of a house in Curtis Street.

Route of the Wilts & Berks canal, near Tennyson Street
The Wilts & Berks canal opened in 1810, linking the Kennet & Avon canal with the River Thames and running right through Swindon. It closed in 1914, but is now partly restored. The houses on both sides of the canal here [Curtis Street and Tennyson Street] were built between 1885 and 1899.

Swindon: Tennyson Street
This street of terraced houses is dominated, or not depending on your point of view, by the 83 metre high David Murray John building, named in honour of the Clerk of Swindon Borough Council from 1938 to 1974 and well known as 'Mr Swindon', who first envisaged a towering landmark in the centre of the town.

Canal site at Milton Road
The course of the former Wilts & Berks canal near the centre of Swindon. Taken in 1968 the photo shows the bridge taking Milton Road over the canal. This section still had water in the 1920's though trade had declined from the moment the railways had arrived in Swindon in the 1840's.

Wall painting, rear of Tennyson Street, Swindon
The artists are unknown to me. Interestingly it hasn't been tagged like the adjacent fence. That makes me wonder if the artists aren't reformed taggers. The houses in the background are in Tennyson Street. The building on the right is in Milton Road.
