Upper Stratton Baptist chapel was founded in 1861 and the Church formed in 1862. At first the building doubled as a school; the Sunday School (to the left of the picture) was added in 1929. http://usbc.org.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3925580699/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3925580705/in/photostream/

Upper Stratton Baptist chapel was founded in 1861 and the Church formed in 1862. At first the building doubled as a school, as there was no school in the village at the time. In 1929 a Sunday School was built alongside the church. The church bell fell from use in 1886, and was later sent to Jamaica in response to an appeal from the Baptist Missionary Society. http://usbc.org.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3925580699/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3925580705/in/photostream/

This is a fairly recent addition to the growing logistics industry in Swindon. The houses in the background are in Meadowcroft, Upper Stratton, Swindon, and would have been built in the 1950s. They are at SU166871.

Another view of this logistics company, it shows evidence of someone at the planning stage taking account of the interests of the houses in Meadowcroft visible at the extreme left of the image. The noise-producing activities i.e. vehicle movements and loading/unloading operations are shielded from the houses by the layout and orientation of the warehouse itself. This is best seen on Google Earth.

No. 19 Green Road, Upper Stratton is a Grade II Listed thatched cottage. Probably built in the 17th century, it is a former dame school. Its principal architectural feature (not visible on this picture) is an external stepped wall chimney stack with attached bread oven. It was built long before Stratton St. Margaret became urbanised after the coming of the railway to Swindon. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-318557-19-stratton-st-margaret http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=5141&crit=
