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…
