Sparcells from Shaw Forest Park, Swindon
The 1980s housing estate lies in two grid-squares, this one and SU1186 to the left or west. The viewpoint is just inside the subject square looking very slightly west of north. Thus the right-hand part of the image showing the houses is in SU1286 as is most of the foreground.

Seen from the car park. This is in a lovely setting next to Peatmoor Lagoon. There was a poster advertising dragon races on the lake one day quite soon - sounds fun.

Part of the Cellular Operations Building, West Swindon
The building, empty until recently, has been refurbished and awaits new occupiers. At present it looks a little forlorn, like a pretty girl who's been stood up.
Update 05 July 2009: the building is now called 'Arclite House' and presently has two occupiers, HSM Ltd and Renaissance Easy Claim.
