Swindon's unusual history as a large industrial town in the heart of Wiltshire has defined its townscape for the last 200 years. In Swindon in 50 Buildings, local author Angela Atkinson examines not only such well-known Swindon landmarks and areas as the GWR Railway Village Conservation Area and the Old Town, but also everyday buildings that reveal aspects of Swindon's always fascinating and surprising story. The town is largely the creation of the nineteenth century, built around the Great Western Railway's Works, but it nonetheless has over 600 listed buildings, not to mention scheduled monuments and three registered parks and gardens.
