Field Alongside the A419
The A419 at this point is effectively the eastern bypass for Swindon. Just the other side of the dual carriageway (out of image to the left) there are large industrial and business estates. This crop of maize was only just showing some growth.

The Fraser Centre, Faraday Road, Swindon
Permission has been granted for this building to be demolished. The Fraser Centre once provided data and IT support for the department store group House of Fraser. It has been in decline since 2010 when the IT function was outsourced. It finally became empty in 2020. A property company has been granted planning permission to demolish the building in advance of the erection of seven General industrial (use class B2)/ Storage or distribution (use class B8)/ Commercial, business and service (use class E) units successfully arguing that no future use for the existing building could be identified.

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 ).
