This stretch of ageing tarmac was once part of the original Blunsdon Road. The white lane divider is just about discernible. It has long been bypassed and the village of Haydon Wick was subsumed into greater Swindon decades ago.

Blunsdon Road houses, Haydon Wick, Swindon
Houses on Blunsdon Road near the corner of High Street.
Now incorporated into Swindon, in the early decades of the 20th century Haydon Wick was a small hamlet. There were houses in the High Street area, and farms in the surrounding fields. Roads were little more than tracks. Mains gas was first available in 1930, and electricity not until 1939.

Golden Jubilee totem pole, Blunsdon Road, Haydon Wick, Swindon
The pole was once placed vertically somewhere to mark the 50th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II. It rather looks as though the bottom section started to rot away and so it was laid to rest here for the time being. The representation of a cute furry animal appears to be that of a squirrel.
