Where is the Great Wall of Swindon and why was it built?

The Great Wall of Swindon flows like a river of masonry from west to east. It begins as a trickle from Rodbourne Road with a low wall of pennant stone. It reaches its full height at Bristol Street and continues towards the train station. Jack Hayward has compiled his research on Swindon’s “Great Wall” which runs directly through Swindon’s Railway Conservation Area. Join us for an evening of wonder, as Jack talks us along the history of the wall, and the changes to the buildings around it over time. To find out more and book, visit the Mechanics Trust website.
