Old Mill Lane and The Lawn park in winter
This is the end of Old Mill Lane. It continues around the corner on the left, but that section is known as The Planks. Ahead the two gate posts mark one of the entrances to The Lawn. Originally this was the home of the Goddard family, who were lords of the manor. The house was demolished in the 1950's. The grounds are now a public park, owned by Swindon Borough Council.

South along Marlborough Road, Swindon
Marlborough Road was and remains one of the main routes to and from the town. However its character here has changed over the last ten to fifteen years. At the left is fairly new housing, Mill Court. Beyond that the building with the mansard roof is Ashlar Court. Both developments cater, I think, mainly for retired people. Before this development occurred there was a large car dealership here called Greens who held the Chrysler franchise for a while. The cottages on the right are relatively old, early 19th century. They are within the Old Town conservation area and are listed http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=318785

Marlborough Road, Swindon
The imposing building on the right behind the advertising board was once, I believe, occupied by a prominent veterinary surgeon. Then it became the offices of a car dealership. The dealership vacated the site some years ago and re-located. Since then the building has been left unoccupied.
