Moving to Swindon?
The first photos that come up for Swindon on Google are of an enormous roundabout.
This is not a very fair representation. Nor is the etymology of the town’s name,
which comes from the Saxon Swine Dun – or Pig Hill. It has to be said that Swindon’s
history is not madly exciting: from its founding as an adjunct to a Roman military
encampment through around twenty centuries as a small market town whose economy
was based on barter and agriculture, it passed through English history leaving almost
no traces. As late as 1830, it was described as “a town of two principal streets”.
It was an accident of geography that changed Swindon’s fortunes. Firstly, it was
located on the route of the Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal, which took coal between
the Somerset coalfield and the Midlands and whose reservoir was constructed very
near the town. Second and more important, it happened to be roughly equidistant
from Bristol and London and a junction with the Cheltenham branch railway line.
When Isambard Kingdom Brunel was searching for a home for the Great Western Railway
Works in 1840, he chose the valley north of Swindon Hill. This was to transform
the town into the centre of the railway industry in the south. As well as locomotives,
the Works produced goods wagons, carriages, boilers and machine parts for ships.
When the rolling stock was changed it was done here. Little wonder that by the turn
of the twentieth century ¾ of the adult workforce in Swindon was employed by the
same company. During the world wars it produced munitions. The last steam trains
were built here in 1962 and the Works were finally closed in 1986.
Today, Swindon is mainly a services town. Stylish and pleasant, with excellent restaurants
and shopping facilities, it is not particularly touristy but there are some interesting
places to visit. One building at the old works was turned into a large scale railway
museum, STEAM, which tells the history of the men and women who built, operated
and travelled on the Great Western Railway. The rest has become a designer outlet
village. Slightly further outside the city, Lydiard House is the ancestral home
of the Viscounts Bolingbrook. The stunning Palladian house, which is surrounded
by acres of formal gardens and woodland, is open to visitor all year round.
Coate Water Country Park is the manmade reservoir that was constructed to feed the
Wilts and Berks Canal. Today it is very popular with birdwatchers as well as with
hikers. Nightingale Wood is also popular with wildlife enthusiasts: skylarks, yellow
hammers, roe deer and foxes are often seen here. Children love Butterfly World at
Studley Grange, while their parents are keen on the craft shops surrounding it!
The cuisine is generally typical of large English towns – a little bit of everything
– but for something different why not try one of the Polish restaurants. There was
a strong Polish community here after the Second World War and the residents continue
to leave their culinary mark…
