What is now Swindon's Old Town - or Old Swindon as it might rightfully be called - began life as an Anglo-Saxon settlement. The subsequent acceleration in Swindon's growth began with the 1810 construction of the Wilts and Berks canal and later the North Wilts canal, though the real transformative factor came between 1841 and 1842 with the historic decision by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Daniel Gooch to establish their Great Western Railway works in Swindon.Swindon's connections to London and the South West made it possible for many later industries to come to the town. That early version of Swindon became a small market town and a sculpture of a ram marks the site where the livestock market once took place, one of many pieces of public art that punctuate the town.As a sleepy market town, Old Swindon would likely have stayed were it not for the Industrial Revolution.
Over the decades,
Saint in Swindon
