Cambria Bridge, over the Wilts & Berks canal
The centre of the Welsh settlement in late Victorian Swindon. 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.

Route of Wilts and Berks canal, Swindon
The canal became disused around 100 years ago. This is a view to the south-west along the line of the canal. Further west the canal has been restored in stretches. I believe the tow path was to the right.

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.
