Greystone Mews
An intriguing group of residences - surely a conversion of a much older, rustic property.

A row of empty arches
The former Corn Exchange also had a Butter Market in the triangular shaped building attached to it. In latter times it also offered a skating rink, cinema, bingo hall and ballroom. These many changes failed to stop the decline and eventual dereliction. However, plans have been accepted to completely reinvigorate this historic site. See Image] for more.

The Weavers in snow
This modern residential street is a turning off Old Mill Lane, and leads up to a lane called The Planks. In the distance is a building with a tower, which was formerly the Corn Exchange. Later it became The Locarno. Since this photograph was taken, the building was badly damaged by fire. There have been plans to restore it as part of a wider development but it was reported by the BBC and the local press, in March 2009, that companies linked with the plans were in administration. Hopefully someone will restore it, as Swindon has already lost a lot of interesting buildings in this area.

Holy Rood church, Swindon
All that remains of the original church is the chancel, now occasionally used as a chapel. Holy Rood, first recorded in 1154, served the small, pre-railway hilltop town of Swindon. By the 1840s it was clear Holy Rood was inadequate for the growing population, and Sir George Gilbert Scott's Christ Church was dedicated in 1851. In 1852 Holy Rood was demolished, apart from the chancel and a few pillars. Holy Rood is located on The Lawn, a public park once property of the landowning Goddard family. The Goddard tomb is between chapel and tree.

The tower from the Planks
The sad sight of the old Corn Exchange as seen from the Planks. The fires that badly damaged the roofs has left it open to the elements. See Image] for more of this historic building.
