Shrewsbury Road, Walcot, Swindon
The short road almost certainly takes its name from a person of some importance from the Elizabethan era since most of the other road names in Walcot are so derived. The trees probably pre-date the development of the estate and probably formed an avenue to the old farmhouse which still exists Image NOTE.

Lower Walcot Farmhouse, Shrewsbury Road, Walcot, Swindon
Dotted around the predominantly 1950s municipal housing estate are reminders of the agricultural past of this area. When Swindon Borough Council purchased the land included with it was the building on the left named on old maps as Lower Walcot. It was used for quite a long time as a depot for the housing department's maintenance division. It then became a hostel, which it still is I understand. The more modern building at the right is a children's nusrsery. NOTE. This image has a detailed ‘shared description’ which you won’t see by viewing this image on a slideshow.

Children's nursery, Shrewsbury Road, Walcot, Swindon
The nursery is a fairly new one and I know little about it. It wasn't here the last time I was in this part of Walcot, quite a few years ago. In the background are houses in Park North, the neighbouring municipal housing estate which was built in the early 1960s. NOTE.

St Andrew's Church Centre, Raleigh Avenue, Walcot
The building seen here at the right was originally used as the church hall for St Andrew's church which once stood where the maisonettes can be seen at the left. Unfortunately the original church had to be demolished for structural reasons. NOTE. This image has a detailed ‘shared description’ which you won’t see by viewing this image on a slideshow.
