Marlborough Road - junction with Windsor Road
Marlborough Road is one of the main routes out of Swindon, as it connects the area known as Old Town to the route to the M4 motorway. The road on the right, Windsor Road, is the busy main road through the Lawn residential estate and comes out on the dual carriageway road, Queen's Drive. Right turns from Windsor Road into Marlborough Road were always difficult, but since this picture was taken in 1983, a mini-roundabout has been installed here. Note the Mini coming along Marlborough Road; a very popular car at the time. The view in the other direction:- Image

Marlborough Road - junction with Windsor Road
A view of this difficult junction, from the opposite direction to this:- Image Today there is a mini-roundabout here. A traffic feature that Swindon is very addicted to, often when you least expect it. The van waiting to turn out of Windsor Road belonged to the well-known Empire Stores.

Downs View Road, Swindon
The road is a cul-de-sac. For such a configuration it is unusually wide. I have heard it said that, when the road was planned, the intention was to take it to the south-west, over the railway that then existed and Broome Manor Lane thus forming a relief road round Old Town. Unfortunately for the planners, someone neglected to obtain the necessary permissions or wayleaves from the landowner and the scheme came to nothing. A further legacy is a wide area of green space, the edge of which is visible in the foreground, between the houses on either side, which were built in the 1930s. The bus in the background is in Marlborough Road on its way into Old Town, Swindon.
