A419 - route confirmatory information near Dorcan
Note that this sign, installed some years ago, has tubular steel posts. Contemporary standards (2010) deem these to be too likely to cause injury in a collision, so more modern installations have lattice posts which crumple more easily (see, for example: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2088260 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2088274 ).

TDG HGV going south, A419, Swindon
TDG started life in 1922 under a different name. TDG is a contraction of Transport Development Group, the name the company adopted in 1957. Since 2011 TDG has been owned by the Norbert Dentressangle company and reportedly no longer trades as a separate enterprise. The truck is being overtaken by an Audi tourer (the current designation for what used to be estate cars). Both are heading towards the M4 motorway.

Wanborough Road, Covingham, Swindon
Long renamed Wanborough Road, originally it was a Roman road called, according to the current 1:25K map, Ermin Way. I always thought it was Ermin Street. This is a view to the south-east.
